- MS Van Heutsz was a Dutch diesel powered passenger and cargo vessel of the Koninklijke Paketvaart-Maatschappij (KPM) line operating from Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia) in the Dutch East Indies. The ship, as was sister ship , was designed for the longer routes of the East Indies inter-island trade extending to Singapore and Hong Kong. The ships had limited cabin accommodation for passengers but large deck passenger capacity. Much of the passenger trade was with Chinese moving between China, Singapore and the East Indies. During World War II with the Netherlands and colonies outside the Americas occupied by Germany or Japan Van Heutsz and over twenty other KPM ships formed the base of the United States Army permanent local fleet in the South West Pacific area under the South West Pacific Area Command for the duration of the war. Van Heutsz was used as a troop transport during the campaigns from Australia up to recapture of islands in the East Indies. After the war the ship became involved in political and labor disputes related to the emergence of an Indonesian independence movement. The KPM crews were natives of the East Indies with officers Dutch. Crews struck, walked off the ships and Australian labor unions refused to service the ships as they were returning to the East Indies with Dutch troops and arms. On return Van Heutsz resumed the former route under the Koninklijke Java-China Paketvaart Lijnen N.V. line; however a wave of piracy was sweeping the area and the ship was taken by pirates north of Hong Kong during an afternoon, forced to a new destination and looted through the night into the next morning. Van Heutsz continued those operations until reverting to KPM and being renamed Barentsz in 1957. In 1959 the ship was sold and scrapped in Hong Kong. (en)
