Then I googled the name SEA SERVANT 3 and got the whole story, she actually sunk because of some faulty valve whilst lifting a rig.
She was later raised up and returned to service after an extensive and expensive overhaul.
look it up on Google , mighty interesting with great photos.

On 6 December 2006, Mighty Servant 3 sank in 62 m (203 ft) of water near the port of Luanda, Angola, while offloading the drilling platform ALEUTIAN KEY.During submerging to unload cargo, the ship developed a list and continued to submerge beyond design limits. There were no casualties, nor damage to the transported platform.
After 5 months of resting on the seabed, MIGHTY SERVANT 3 was salvaged by Dutch salvage company Smit International and handed back to its owners on 26 May 2007.
