Pearleaf and her sister-ship Plumleaf (A78) were originally built by Blythswood Shipbuilding Co. Ltd, in Scotstoun, Glasgow, for and owned by Jacobs & Partners Ltd, London. They were both taken over on completion by the Ministry of Defence, on a 20 year bareboat charter. Chartered in 1960, she served until 1986 and saw service during the Falklands War. Pearleaf was returned to owners, and then sold to Petrostar Co. Ltd of Saudi Arabia. Renamed Nejmat el Petrol XIX, she served as a static fuel storage facility.
