The KMS series of mercantile convoy sailed from the UK to Gibraltar and onward into the Mediterranean. The series began in October 1942 but from April 1943 (KMS.13) it was combined with the OS series (UK - Freetown, Sierra Leone) detaching en route. In this database, the OS/ KMS series is divided into the UK-Gibraltar section (suffix "G") and the subsequent Mediterranean section.

There was no separate KMS.72 convoy.
