Ships trapped by the Iran-Iraq War 1980

I am compiling a list of ships, mostly tankers but other vessels as well, trapped in the area of the Shatt al-Arab in September 1980 and I wonder whether or not anyone can help me fill the gaps?
I am trying to discover the grt displacement of the following vessels:
Acpanim, Iran Tarighat, Median and Chinese-registered Xanant Giant at Khorramshahr
Al-Hafija, al-Nasari (Safina al-Nasari???), al-Phirosh, Gelaninipirpasa, Murlindher, Safin al-Umar at al-Faw.
I am also trying to discover at which ports were located the Adamas and the Cynthia?

United Arab had 2 vessels there. The Al Sabahiah was in Basrah and the Ibn al haithem in Umm Qasr.
I was Mate in the Sab. Got across the border to Kuwait Dec 1980.

Spearfish,

I think that the web site below will be of great use to you. You can have a free 7 day trial but then you need to pay. Full details of everything you need to know is on the web site.
