Disposal, 1982
Soubarissen remained in the Beaumont Reserve Fleet until she was disposed of by a MARAD vessel exchange on 19 March 1982. She was traded to the Farrell Lines along with three other vessels in exchange for the SS Export Banner. Farrell Lines immediately resold Soubarissen to Echhardt & Co. Marine, who then in turn sold the tanker to Iterresources Inc. for further resale to Brownsville Steel & Salvage, Brownsville, Texas. Soubarissen was delivered to the scrapyard on 5 April 1982 and she was scrapped by 30 July 1982.
