Justinian was a 1,875 GRT cargo ship that was built in 1940 by Nobiskrug Werft, Rendsburg for a Norwegian owner. She was seized on completion, renamed Karl Christian Lohse and used by a German company. She was seized by the Allies in May 1945 at Flensburg, passed to the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) and renamed Empire Conningbeg.

In 1946, she was transferred to the Norwegian Government and renamed Fuglenes. In 1947, she was transferred to her original owner and renamed Justinian. She was sold to a West German owner in 1954 and renamed Inge R Christophersen. She served until 1965, when she was scrapped.
