Replacing her original namesake sunk in 1941, the second Clytoneus was built for the Ocean Steamship Company (Blue Funnel Line) by Caledon Shipbuilding at Dundee in 1948. Registered upon completion at 7,620 tons gross (4,434 net), she measured 487 feet in length with a 62 foot beam. Engined by Kincaid of Greenock, she was driven by a single screw and could cruise at 15½ knots. Although primarily intended for general cargo, she was the first of her class to be designed with 'tween deck accommodation for Middle East pilgrims to Jeddah (for Mecca) and operated regularly on that run each year. Towards the end of her service life, she ran briefly under Elder Dempster colours due to company amalgamations but was withdrawn in 1972 and sent to Taiwan for scrapping.
