SFAKTIRIA was put in auction by the Naval Ministry in July 1924. Next September she was delivered to "Piraeus Trading & Industrial Co." (G. Stringos, G. Domestinis & Co.) and converted to a barge.
In January 1927 she was under tow from tug MIMIS, from Oinousai to Thessalonikis with a cargo of 60,000 barrles of oil salvaged from the burned out cargo ship DORIS. On January 19 they run into bad weather while NW of Psara Island and SFAKTIRIA went sinking in the approximate position 38 47 N, 25 24 E.
