Polar Land proceeded directly upon completion to New York where she loaded a full cargo of general Army supplies. She departed New York 8 December 1918 for Verdun in convoy on what was the first of three round trips to France during World War I. On her second and third voyages she carried 2,665 tons of frozen beef to La Pallice and St. Nazaire.
Polar Land decommissioned 10 June 1919 at New York and was returned to the USSB.
