This would be the CYPRIAN COAST (q.v.).
Seems to be a full official investigation report at: https://vlex.co.uk/vid/r-appelqvist-b-v-806499005

I knew I had this in my archives, although I cannot now remember the source, but very surprised I have not posted it to NEM before now.
I believe this shows her following the 1955 collision:

Checking back the above image was sent to me by Rivoldini Ron and was featured on my TEESSHIPS website back in 2002.
Ron sent me quite a few historic photos, many of which I think will be of interest to us NEM viewers.

Hey up, CYPRIAN COAST was a small standard engine and bridge AFT coaster, ex ALNWICK
https://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/A-Ships/alnwick1936.html


This vessel has a more substantial main mast, and 'cabins' aft of the funnel, who is she?
Maybe from another Coast Lines group, running under TT charter.
