MV Summit Venture was a Japanese-built bulk carrier, built in 1976, which collided with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in 1980, causing the partial collapse of the bridge, which killed 35 people.

The ship was repaired and returned to service and was subsequently resold, trading as Sailor, Sailor I, KS Harmony and Jianmao 9. It sank off the Vietnamese coast in November 2010 when the holds took in water.
