As can be seen when going to Page 8 of the documents received from the National Archives of Norway, Colombia is said to have been laid up at Greenock on Sept. 13-1944. In March-1946, she made a voyage from Glasgow to Haugesund, Norway.
Colombia rescued the crew from the Norwegian ship Luna in Dec.-1939; follow the link for more details.
She's listed as sailing in the U.K.-Norway Convoy ON 15 at the end of Febr.-1940. The following month we find her, with general cargo for Hull, in Convoy HN 20 from Norway to the U.K. (just a couple of weeks before the German invasion). Again, follow the links for more details; several Norwegian ships took part in these convoys.
As can be seen from her Voyage Record and the archive documents, she was subsequently in service around the U.K.
Sold in Febr.-1952 to Naviera International Transportes Maritimes, Panama and renamed Semra, then from 1956 she sailed as the Spanish Xacharias Lecumberri of Seville. Broken up in Castellon, Spain in 1963.
