M/S Stålbas, formerly the Norwegian Coast Guard cutter Stalbas offshore patrol vessel (English: NoCGV Stålbas; Norwegian: KV Stålbas; HNoMS Staalbas; HMS Stalbas), is a multifunction cargo vessel. It was converted to 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]

History

Fishing vessel Trålbas (1955-1976)

The ship was originally built as the fishing boat Trålbas in 1955 at Beliard, Crighton, Ostend, Norway.[3]

Norwegian Coast Guard (1976-2000)

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.[3]

Civilian career (2000-2006)

The Stålbas passed out of Coast Guard service into civilian service in 2000, operating off the coast of Africa.[3]

Norwegian Coast Guard

The NoCGV Stålbas (callsign: LNXH; pennant: W 314) returned to Coast Guard service in 2006, replacing NoCGV Nord.[3]

Cargo vessel Stålbas

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

Fishing vessel Stålbas

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 Norwegian-born captain of FV Northwestern Sigurd Jonny "Sig" Hansen onboard as advisor.[2]
