The ship entered into operation only after a refit on 1 July 1941 roku, in Ministry of War Transport charter.
She undertook five transatlantic cruises in convoys to Canada and back, but an old ship was ill-suited to rough Atlantic weather, and her machinery was worn out, so she had to be repaired in a yard after most cruises.
She was also used in coastal convoys.
In November 1943 she was laid up.
On 8 June 1944 useless ship was scuttled off the coast of Normandy as a part of an artificial breakwater of Mulberry B harbour (Gooseberry 3 at Gold Beach, Arromanches).
After the war she was raised and scrapped.
