Built in Lekkerkerk, she was launched on 15 November 1954, and had a service speed of 12 knots.

She served European interests until being chartered by Sofrana for use on the Pacific Islands trade in 1970. Four years later, she was in the hands of Asian owners.

She foundered in the Gulf of Thailand, near the Cambodian border, in December 1983.
