SS Barlind was a steam coaster. She was built in Germany in 1938 for a German shipowner, who named her Süderau. In 1945 the Allies seized her; the UK Ministry of War Transport took possession of her; and she was renamed Empire Content. In 1946 she was transferred the Norwegian Directorate for Enemy Property, and renamed Svartnes. In 1947 she joined the fleet of Fred. Olsen & Co. and was renamed Barlind. In 1971 a Greek owner bought her and renamed her Ikaria. She was bought by Italian ship breakers in 1972.
