For twenty years she was well known around the New Zealand coast delivering coal from the West Coast ports of Greymouth and Westport. In June 1960 she broke a loading record in Greymouth when 2926 tons of coal was loaded in 7.5 hours. After been sold to overseas interests she spent another 14 years trading in the Far East.
