In 1950s / 1960s what British India Co. ships worked to Fiji, New Guinea, Sumatra and Mauritius

Contributed by Colin (Croydon, England)

   This is a British India Steam Navigation Company map of their services in 1950s / 1960s.   I was quite surprised to see that Fiji, New Guinea, Sumatra and Mauritius were served.   

   Can anyone tell me what BI ships worked to these places and what services they were on ?
