The ship was originally built as the fishing boat Trålbas in 1955 at Beliard, Crighton, Ostend, Norway.[5]

Norwegian Coast Guard (1976–2000)

[edit]

The NoCGV Stålbas (Norwegian: KV Stålbas, lit. 'Royal Vessel Stalbas'; English: Norwegian Coast Guard Vessel Stalbas) was a Norwegian Coast Guard cutter, an offshore patrol vessel in the Royal Norwegian Navy, for 4 decades.[1] It became a Coast Guard vessel in 1976 and renamed Stålbas.[5]

Civilian career (2000–2006)

[edit]

The Stålbas passed out of Coast Guard service into civilian service in 2000, operating off the coast of Africa.[5]

[edit]

The NoCGV Stålbas (callsign: LNXH; pennant: W 314) returned to Coast Guard service in 2006, replacing NoCGV Nord.[5]

Cargo vessel Stålbas

[edit]

The MS Stålbas was a cargo ship after the end of its Coast Guard career.[1]

Fishing vessel Stålbas

[edit]

In 2010, the Stålbas was acquired by Barens Offshore AS for use as a fishing vessel.[6]

Crabbing vessel Stålbas

[edit]

Snowcrab fisherman Bengt Are Korneliussen became managing owner in 2021 after an ownership shuffle following licensing problems at Barens Offshore that resulted in a revoked fishing licence, the licence problems were resolved with the ownership change.[6] In Fall 2021, the Stålbas was converted by owner Bengt Korneliussen to be able to function as a crabber fishing vessel, crab fishing red king crab in the open ocean, unlike most Norwegian crabbers, which crab fish in the sheltered fjords.[1] It would be one of the first attempts to fish such beyond the 6-mile limit in deep water in the Norwegian waters economic zone, fishing Bering Sea American-style, on the Barents Sea. That would be filmed for Deadliest Catch and have American-born captain of F/V Northwestern Sig Hansen serving as captain.[2] The ship would return again for Deadliest Catch spin-off The Viking Returns for the 2022 North American fall TV season.[7][8][3][4]
