In December 1946, the Rio Jibacoa was built by Lithgows Ltd., at Port Glasgow, and was launched as the Coulbreck for the Dornoch Shipping Co. Ltd., (Lambert Bros., Ltd., Managers). Her gross tonnage is 3,654, and net tonnage 2,155. Engined by Rankin and Blackmore, Ltd., of Greenock, she is fitted for oil fuel. In 1954 she was renamed Dundrennan under the same ownership, but managed by Glen and Company, Glasgow. She became the Rio Jibacoa when bought by the Rota Mambisa in 1957.SG1122
