I have found some information on the Ben boats that ended up as crab canneries in USSR.
It comes from this site: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=78290&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=180
PIATTY KRABALOV1905 Completed as BENAVON (W. Thompson & Co.) 09.05
1923 BENAVON (Ben Line Steamers, Ltd.)
1930 PIATTY KRABALOV (Krabotrest) as floating cannery
1934 ANASTAS MIKOYAN (Krabotrest)
1937 ANASTAS MIKOYAN (Krabomorzverotrest)
1958 ANASTAS MIKOYAN (DGMP)
1959 ANASTAS MIKOYAN (Krabomorzverotrest)
1970 ANASTAS MIKOYAN (Dalmoreprodukt)
Lloyd´s Register delete vessels whose existence is in doubt. I believe that these Soviet ships that worked in the Far East managed to survive well ahead of the dates that lloyd's removed them from register.
If I recall well, a Russian site mentioned that Anastas Mikoyan was removed from the fleet in 1970, that usually means that she was scrapped.
Anyway it seems that Benavon and Benlawers survived an amazing 65 years!
