 Notes: 

As will be seen when going to Page 1 of the archive documents, Halvdan was on her way from Bangkok to Singapore when war broke out in Norway on Apr. 9-1940. Her 1941 voyages start on Page 2 and continue on Page 3, which also shows her 1942 and some of her 1943 voyages. Judging from Page 4, she spent a long time at Table Bay (Cape Town) from May-1943 - reason not known. This document also lists some 1944 voyages, while her 1945 voyages start on Page 5.

From Page 6, we learn that she went home to Norway in Sept.-1945.
