Stan and Kyrenia , what was the name of the other long term period chartered ship that Jamaica had on , was it the 'NORTHERN STAR' - Remember she looked pre-war built?

Hi John and Stumps,
There was another similar ship frequently in London
but I think her name was North Star not Northern Star.
Prosit
