Notes:

From Page 1 of the archive documents, we learn that she was on her way from Los Angeles to Hong Kong when war broke out in Norway on Apr. 9-1940. Some of her 1941 voyages are also shown on this document and continue on Page 2, which also lists her 1942 voyages. 1943 and most of her 1944 voyages can be found on Page 3, while Page 4 has her 1945 and some early 1946 voyages. It'll be noticed that she sometimes had long stays in port, with a particularly long stay in Los Angeles at the end of 1943 (Page 3). She had arrived there from Devonport, Tas. on Aug. 12 and departure is given as Oct. 31, when she proceeded to Hobart (Page 3 shows another long stay at Brisbane in the fall of 1944).

Stavern Memorial commemoration - This man, Gullik Marthinius Gulliksen was a gunner, cause of death or date not given, but the date Dec. 2-1941 is mentioned under the heading "wrecked" - this in some cases also refers to the date of death at this website. However, checking with "Våre falne", a series of 4 books naming Norwegian WW II casualties, I find that he died at a hospital in Auckland, New Zealand on May 19-1945, having previously taken ill in Dec.-1944, and is buried there. He may have been serving on Marina when he became ill - from Page 4, we learn that she had arrived Auckland (from Talara) on Dec. 28-1944. The date Dec. 2-1941 actually goes back to the sinking of D/S Fjord, on which he served at the time of her loss, but survived.
