MV Asia and President Cleveland - Ocean/Sea Terminal Kowloon 1953/54

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1954

This must have been one of MV Asia's first visits to HK as she was built only in 1953. I sailed back on her in 1965. She made regular runs to HK from Genoa/Trieste until being sold off by Lloyd Triestino to Lebanon, converted to a livestock carrier and renamed 'Persia'.

Anyone know where she is now, or how she ended her days ?
