Her port of registry was Newcastle upon Tyne.[3] In January 1959, Cayzer, Irvine & Co Ltd were prosecuted at Grays Thurrock, Essex over alleged emissions of smoke from Clan Mackinlay at Tilbury, Essex on 2 October 1958, in breach of the Clean Air Act 1956. The company was fined £25, with 10 guineas costs.
