It's the wreck of the 224.000 dwt VLCC "Son Bong" (ex "Polyscandia"), which was bombed by Iraqi jets in 1985. She was owned by the North Korean governement at the time.

The wreck is evidently still there today, or at least was until recently. On the following page you can see part of the wreck in front of the 2002-built VLCC "Iran Huwayzeh".
