Did the German ship SS Hansa (former Albert Ballin) continue her journey to the West after 30 January 1945?

Grandchild of a woman, now in her mid-90s, who was aboard the Hansa when it was supposed to accompany the Wilhelm-Gustloff. She was seeking refuge in the US with (I believe) her mother and older brother, and she at least eventually made it there. She never mentioned the boat returning to Germany, so I assume they made it to Kiel eventually. My Oma is still alive, but she has dementia so I can't get a more solid answer from her unfortunately. Sorry for the late and incomplete answer. I found this post while looking for a passenger list for the January 30th 1945 departure.

Did you already read the book "Der HAPAG Passagier-Dampfer "Hansa"" by Ulf-Normann Neitzel? It describes every single day of the journey with details about where it was, when it waited, what the passengers ate etc.
I briefly read the passages after Jan 31st (page 66-67) and it says the journey continued directly to Kiel, even though there were a lot of waiting times, boardings by SS, and attacks by aircraft or incidents with sea mines.
