[3] Empire Bounty entered service for the MoWT, and was operated on their behalf by the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company, of London.

[6] Empire Bounty made one further voyage to New York that year, leaving Liverpool on 28 December and reaching her destination on 8 January 1945, having sailed via Belfast Lough.

[10] She returned with Convoy CU 59, departing on 19 February 1945 and arriving at Liverpool on 1 March, from where she headed to the Clyde.

[13] Empire Bounty put into Fayal with an unspecified defect that her master stated could only be repaired in the United Kingdom.

On 17 January 1954, Wave Victor was sailing down the Bristol Channel when a fire broke out in the engine room.

[14] Several tugs and lifeboats, as well as the corvette HMS Carisbrooke Castle came out to the ship, but by then the fire was raging out of control and the crew abandoned her, fearing the explosion of her bunkers.

[15] The tug Nirumand brought six firemen from Swansea to the ship, which was 9 nautical miles (17 km) off Bull Point, Devon.

[14] Acting Chief Engineer George McBain remained aboard so the vessel could not be claimed by private tugs under marine salvage laws.
