In 1947 SCAJAP returned "Hikawa Maru" to NYK, which despite her passenger capacity ran her mostly as a cargo ship until 1953. Her work included general cargo between Japan and the East Coast of the United States, a liner service between Japan and Burma in 1949, and iron ore from Thailand. In the war NYK had lost 172 ships totalling 1.028 million Gross register tons, which may explain why the company used an ocean liner for any cargo.
