The last of the B-class also received an Australian name, though not one the Company had used before. She was launched as Bombala (after the town and river in New South Wales). Her one appearance in the headlines was spectacular. En route from Calcutta to Sydney on 9th March 1966, she was arriving at Singapore at 09.30 when she collided with the berthed Azuchisan Maru. This set up a chain of collisions in which the Japanese ship struck State of Madras, which in turn struck Munchen.

She, too, joined her sister after sale, when she followed Barpeta into the ownership of the Sudan Shipping Line Ltd. on 4th September 1971 as Shendi. They sold her in 1980 to the Mah Boonkrong Shipping Co Ltd of Bangkok, who renamed her Supachai Bulakul, but they kept her for only a few months before reselling her later the same year to the China Ocean Shipping Co for whom she became Zhen Zhu Quan.

She passed in 1986 to the Shandong Province Marine Shipping Co without change of name and in 1989 became Su Cheng of Jaingyin City Shipping Company, Nanjing.
