The Mafuta is a diamond-mining ship owned and operated by De Beers in the western coast of South Africa. Built in 1983 as Dock Express 20 for Dock Express Shipping (later Dockwise), the semisubmersible, multirole, heavy-lift vessel was converted to the world's largest cable layer in 1993. In 2005, she was purchased by De Beers, and converted to a subsea diamond-mining ship by A&P Tyne over the course of 11 months. The ship's new name, Peace in Africa, may have implied that it was providing an alternative to blood diamonds. In 2013, still under ownership of De Beers Marine Namibia, the vessel was renamed to MV Mafuta.

  • Le Mafuta, appelé jusqu'en 2013 Peace in Africa, est un navire minier appartenant à la multinationale diamantaire De Beers. Lancé en 1983, ce bateau fut d'abord un navire transporteur de colis lourds pour le compte de Dockwise, converti en câblier, puis en navire minier en 2006. Son nom Peace in Africa s'expliquait par le fait que la De Beers le présente comme une alternative aux diamants de conflits. Le navire extrait des diamants par dragage des fonds marins. (fr)
