On 12 April 1942, the „ARAMIS“ was seized by the Japanese government in Saigon under Angara law and renamed „TEIA MARU“. In the period that followed, the ship was mainly used as a troop and prisoner transporter and for the exchange of prisoners of war, for example for US and Canadian nationals in September and October 1943. However, it also served as a hospital ship and continued to carry civilian passengers in some cases. She sunk by USS submarine „RASHER“ in August 1944.
