She had her fair share of "experiences" while operating around the coast. She ran aground off Taranaki's Waiweranui Point on 14 July 1956, while fire was discovered in the no. 2 hold on 10 August 1966, while en route from Wellington to Dunedin.

On 3 July 1990, she sprang a leak in the South China Sea near Paracel Island and sank.
