Cap Tafelneh was a 2,266 GRT cargo ship which was built in 1920 by Burntisland Shipbuilding Company Ltd, Fife, Scotland. She was built for Joseph Lasry as Sydney Lasry. In 1931, she was sold to Compagnie Générale Transatlantique and renamed Ariège. In 1938 she was sold to Société Anonyme de Gerance D'Armement and renamed Cap Tafelneh. She was bombed and sunk at Dunkirk in 1940.

Salvaged by Germany, she was renamed after Carl Arp, a German landscape painter and representative of the Weimar Saxon-Grand Ducal Art School (Grossherzoglich-Sächsische Kunstschule Weimar). She was seized as a war prize at Hamburg in May 1945, passed to the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) and renamed Empire Chelmer. She was returned to Société Anonyme de Gerance D'Armement in 1946 and regained her former name Cap Tafelneh. In 1950, she was sold to Mustafa Nuri Andak, Turkey and renamed Kandilli. In 1957, she was sold to Nejat Doğan & Co and renamed Kahraman Doğan. She served until 1975, when she was sold for scrapping.
