Under Kruge's command, a Klingon Bird-of-Prey destroys the Merchantman.

In 2285, the Merchantman was a small vessel which carried classified Federation data regarding the Genesis Device to a Klingon Bird-of-Prey that was the under the command of Kruge. The Merchantman was destroyed when Kruge learned that Valkris, a Klingon operative travelling aboard the freighter, had seen the information. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)

The name of the Merchantman is taken from the script, which suggests that the ship was in Organian space when it was attacked and destroyed.
The model of the Merchantman was later re-used as one of the Class 7 vessels in TNG: "The Outrageous Okona", and as the Cardassian freighter Bok'Nor in DS9: "The Maquis, Part I".
