D/S Mui Hock To Mui Hock on the "Ships starting with M" page. Owner: A/S Arne Sveens Rederi Built by Nylands Verksted, Oslo in 1936.
Mui Hock is listed as sailing in the slow Convoy SC 133 from Halifax to the U.K. in June-1943. The following month we find her in Convoy RU 80 from Reykjavik to the U.K, together with Lyra. Mui Hock's final destination is given as New York on that occasion (via Loch Ewe, probably for convoy). For info, there's a ship by this name listed as sailing in Convoy SG 36 from St. John's to Greenland in Dec.-1943 at the external website that I've linked to below. In Apr.-1944 she joined the slow Halifax-U.K. Convoy SC 157, bound for Iceland with general cargo. She later travelled to the U.K. from Iceland with Convoy RU 120 the following month. In Aug.-1944 she sailed in Convoy HX 303 with 16 other Norwegian ships, namely Tanafjord, Dalfonn, Noravind, Atlantic, Sommerstad, Skotaas, Geisha, Thorhild, Petter, Stirlingville, Rena, Para, Titanian, Romulus, Fjordaas and Norse Lady, all listed on this website. Mui Hock was again bound for Iceland with a general cargo and joined this convoy with the Halifax portion, the convoy having originated in New York. She subsequently left Iceland for Loch Ewe and Boston on Sept. 17 with Convoy RU 135. In the middle of Nov.-1944 she shows up in the slow Halifax-U.K. Convoy SC 161, carrying a general cargo, destination Iceland via Loch Ewe, leaving Iceland again towards the end of Dec. with Convoy RU 147; final destination is given as New York. At the end of Jan.-1945 she joined the Halifax-U.K. Convoy SC 166, bound for Iceland with general and lumber, then joined Convoy RU 155 at the beginning of March, destination Belfast for Halifax.
