Magd was a tanker that was built by Sir J. Laing & Sons in 1943 as Empire Gain for the Ministry of War Transport. She was sold to the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co. Ltd. in 1946 and renamed Barbatia. Sold to Shell Tankers Ltd in 1955, she was seized by Egypt in November 1956 during the Suez Crisis. Allocated to the Egyptian General Petroleum Organisation in 1956, she was renamed Magd. In 1961, she was allocated to the United Arab Maritime Co. Magd was attacked and sunk by Israeli aircraft on 8 June 1967 during the Six-Day War. Her wreck was cleared in 1975.
