==Remarks==
Managed by M. Chr. Stray, Kristiansand, the Anatina was a Norwegian merchant ship. 

The ''Anatina'' spent a large proportion of the war carrying out coastal shipping around Australia and moving troops between Australia and the islands to the north. Survived a collision with the coastal steamer ''Wear'' off Montagu Island, NSW, on 8 Sep 1944. The ''Wear'' sank almost immediately.


The ''Anatina'' was sold in September 1961 to Einar M. Gaard A/S and Sigurd Haavik A/S, Haugesund and renamed ''Gardøy''. She was used in worldwide tramping service and in the seasonal lumber trade. Taken over by Einar M. Gaard A/S in the summer of 1965. Arrived in Haugesund in January 1967 for sale, and delivered in May 1967 as ''Ela'' to Ships Mediterranean Lines West Africa Ltd., based in Haifa, Israel. From 6 Jun 1970 she sailed as ''Armadora'' for Meridional Armadora S.A., of Panama. Sold again in December 1971 to Taiwanese breakers, she was again renamed, this time to ''Viva X'' and she arrived in Kaohsiung on 29 Feb 1972 to be broken up.
