"Europic Ferry" returned to San Carlos on 26 May to discharge her remaining stores and personnel. At around this time a hand-applied mottled grey camouflage scheme was painted over the vessel's peacetime orange livery. The "Europic Ferry" was the only merchant ship to be camouflaged during the war, though some had their funnel markings painted out. In mid-June the ship was back outside the Total Exclusion Zone, acting as a floating platform for works to Chinook helicopters which had been transported to the South Atlantic on the "Contender Bezant". Personnel of No. 18 Squadron RAF worked on the deck of "Europic Ferry" to make the helicopters airworthy before they were flown to the aircraft carrier . On 15 June the ship was at risk of capsize in a heavy swell, due to the presence of a Chinook lashed to her deck. The "Europic Ferry"'s officers considered jettisoning the helicopter but the swell passed and the Chinook, undamaged by the ordeal, was successfully flown off on 16 June. "Europic Ferry" afterwards sailed to Port Stanley, which had surrendered to British forces on 14 June to load stores and equipment. She sailed for the United Kingdom on 23 June carrying returning troops of 2nd and 3rd Battalions, Parachute Regiment.
