M/S Stålbas (also, Stalbas and Staalbas), formerly the Norwegian Coast Guard cutter Stålbas offshore patrol vessel (English: NoCGV Stålbas; Norwegian: KV Stålbas; HNoMS Stålbas; HMS Stålbas), is a multifunction cargo vessel. It was converted to be able to perform crab fishing in 2021, and featured on the Discovery Channel USA show Deadliest Catch on Discovery+ and Discovery Channel Canada in the 2022 TV show season; [1] [2] and Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns on Discovery USA for the 2022 fall TV season. [3] [4]
The ship was originally built as the fishing boat Trålbas in 1955 at Beliard, Crighton, Ostend, Norway. [5]
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]
The Stålbas passed out of Coast Guard service into civilian service in 2000, operating off the coast of Africa. [5]
The NoCGV Stålbas (callsign: LNXH; pennant: W 314) returned to Coast Guard service in 2006, replacing NoCGV Nord. [5]
The MS Stålbas was a cargo ship after the end of its Coast Guard career. [1]
In 2010, the Stålbas was acquried by Barens Offshore AS for use as a fishing vessel. [6]
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]
