MV Ardingly was a coaster built in 1951 as a collier for Stephenson Clarke Shipping.[1] She carried coal from North East England to ports in Southern England until this trade declined early in the 1960s.[1] Stephenson Clarke then transferred her to carrying bulk cargoes including limestone and grain.[1]

Quick facts History, United Kingdom ...

Many Stephenson Clarke ships were named after places in South East England.[2] MV Ardingly may have been so named because one Stephenson Clarke director, Mr. P.G. Wallace, had been a pupil at Ardingly College in 1909.[1]

In 1971 Stephenson Clarke sold her and a sister ship, MV Steyning, to John Kelly[3] in Northern Ireland. Kelly renamed her MV Ballyrobert[1] after the village of Ballyrobert in County Antrim.

In 1977 Kelly sold her to a Cypriot operator who renamed her MV Lucky Trader.[1] She was sold for scrap and broken up in Piraeus near Athens 1982.[1]
