Administrative history
The M/V "O.K. Service XI" was a motor vessel built by Canadian Vickers Limited of Montreal, Quebec in 1949. The vessel was originally owned by C.A. Venezolana de Navegacion of Caracas, Venezuela who named her the "Carabobo." The vessel was fitted with refrigerated cargo installation and had a sheltered deck..
La Have Shipping Limited bought the M/V "Carabobo" from the Venezuelan government in 1962 and renamed her "O.K. Service XI". She was managed by Himmelman's Supply Company and the vessel's primary captain was C. William Gillet. Canadian National Railways chartered the vessel until 1969 when they terminated their contract due to slow business and new ferry servies being added between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. From April 1, 1969, the vessel was charted by Newfoundland-Canada Limited Steamship Company, who operated a federal government subsidized run between Halifax, Nova Scotia and St. John's, Newfoundland. Due to an increase in competition and high charter rates, they ended their charter of the "O.K. Service XI" on March 31, 1972. The vessel was sold to a buyer in Costa Rica in 1972.
