* Empire Rainbow and Pacific Shipper called at Loch Ewe July 29/30.
** British Prince returned with weather damage.
*** Empire Coral called at Loch Ewe July 29, sailed again the next day. Zamalek also called at Loch Ewe July 29.

* Manela was an RAF flying boat base ship.
** Harpefjell later joined Convoy ON 3.

Boskoop and Innerøy have been given the same convoy station. Perhaps Innerøy was in station 33(?).
