IMO: 5368330

Triena was the only BPC ship to survive the WW2. Triadic, Triona and Triaster were sunk by a German Raider in Dec '40 and Jan 41. Trienza evacuated the BPC and Australian Government staff from Nauru before the Japanese occupation. She brought the Australian troops in 1945 to re-occupy Nauru and take the Japanese surrender. I traveled on her from Ocean Island (Banaba now) to Nauru in 1951 with my parents.She continued carrying bulk phosphate from the islands and general cargo back until sometime in the 1960s when she was sold off. In 2017 I met a man who had been chief engineer on her on her final trip before breaking up. He refused to go to the breakers on her because of the run-down condition. Sad end.

"5536833" is a Miramar internal reference number - she was broken up too early to be given a seven-digit LR/IMO number. (If she had lived longer it would have been 5368330.)

I know !, there was an article some time ago in "Ships in Focus" magazine if I remember well.

TY Adenanthos...she used to carry Phosphate from Nauru down to OZ

Wonderfull, IMO 5536833
