She was purchased by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company in 1919 as replacement for wartime losses. She was the second vessel in the history of the Steam Packet Company to be named Mona.
Built in the Govan yards of Fairfields & Co. in 1907, the vessel had a registered tonnage of 1,219 GRT; length 261'; beam 36' and a depth of 16'. Hazel was a twin-screw vessel fitted with two four-cylinder triple expansion engines. These developed 3100 indicated horsepower and gave the vessel a service speed of 18 knots.
Operated by the Laird Line, she mainly saw service on the Ardrossan-Portrush route.
