In Jan.-1944 she sailed in the New York-U.K. Convoy HX 276, bound for Clyde and Heysham, subsequently returning to the U.S. with Convoy ON 224, which left Liverpool on Febr. 15-1944 and arrived New York on March 2; Pan Scandia's destination is given as Wilmington on that occasion. The Norwegian Fernmoor, Molda, Skaraas, Samuel Bakke and Vanja are also listed. A few days later Pan Scandia joined Convoy HX 282, and was again bound for Heysham. She must have gone straight back across the ocean, because towards the end of Apr. that year we find her, with destination Swansea, in Convoy HX 289. She was scheduled for Convoy HX 299 in July that same year, but instead joined HX 301. In Sept.-1944 she's listed in Convoy HX 308. Follow the links for further details on these convoys; as will be seen, several Norwegian ships took part in them.
