Welcome to our website celebrating the venerable Karanja of the British India Steam Navigation Company Ltd. The Karanja was one of British India Line’s more long lived ships and was built in 1948 for their Bombay to East Africa and South Africa service. Remarkably this route survived for a considerable length of time only being discontinued in 1976 when the Karanja was retired from service by British India Line and was sold to the Shipping Corporation of India for continued service. She then sailed out of Madras as the Nancowry for several years before finally being retired in 1988!
