History

Haga was built for Mathies Reederei, Hamburg.[4] Her port of registry was Hamburg and she was allocated the Code Letters DJYW.[1] She was used on the Hamburg - Stockholm route.[5] In May 1945, Haga was seized by the Allies at Kiel. She was passed to the MoWT and renamed Empire Consumer.[4] Her port of registry was changed to London. The Code Letters GLKK and United Kingdom Official Number 180696 were allocated. She was placed under the management of the Aln Steamship Co Ltd.[2]

In July 1946, Empire Consumer was transferred to the Norwegian Government and was renamed Hauknes. In February 1947, she was sold to Nordenfjeldske Dampskibsselskab A/S, Trondheim and was renamed Orm Jarl, the third Nordenfjeldske ship to bear that name. She was used on routes between Norway and the Mediterranean and later between Norway and Hamburg.[5] In 1958, Orm Jarl was sold to Atlantska Plovidba,[4] Dubrovnik and was renamed Travnik. In 1963, she was sold to Mediteranske Plovidbe, Korčula. Travnik was sold in 1965 to Prekooceanskoj Plovidbi, Bar,[3] and was renamed Komovi. In 1967, Komovi was sold to Greek owner N D Boukouvalas and was renamed Moschoula. She served until 1968 when she was scrapped in Split, Yugoslavia.[4]
