Bamora

The fourth of the B-class was the Bamora (after a village near Almora in the Kumaon District, North-west India).
 
Like most of her sisters she gave uneventful service to the Company and was sold on 17 April 1971 to the Indo-Pacific Corporation of Liberia, under the management of John Manners & Co Ltd of Hong Kong, and was renamed Sumatra Breeze. That name proved short lived, as after only one voyage she became Trikora Djaya on charter to the Indonesian P.T. Trikora of Djakarta, but without change of owners. That came in 1973 when she joined her sister, Bankura, in the fleet of South-East Asia Shipping Pte Ltd as Mahabhakti.
 
In 1980 she became the Dina of the Lyttelton Shipping Corporation under the Panamanian flag and two years later Yang Zi Jiang No 3 of the China Yangtze Shipping Co, as which she was still believed to be in service in 1994.
