MV Merkur was a 5,952 tons passenger cargo vessel built by Frederick Krupp AG, Kiel in 1924. After service with various shipping companies she was bought by Burns Philp & Company in 1935. She was requisitioned into the Royal Australian Navy on 12 December 1942 for service during the Second World War as a victualling stores and supply vessel. She operated in North Queensland and New Guinea waters with her civilian crew. The 'Merkur' was returned to her owners in 1949 and later broken up at Osaka, Japan in January 1954.
