history

The ship was designed by Skipsteknisk and built in 1988 as a stern catcher under the hull number 691 at the Danyard shipyard in Frederikshavn . The keel was laid on January 25th, the launch on April 2nd, 1988. The ship was completed on August 5, 1988.

In 1992 the ship was converted into a research ship at the Norwegian shipyard Båtbygg in Raudeberg and chartered by the University of Tromsø. On June 17, 2011, Tromsø University bought the ship for NOK 72 million. The new name of the ship, which was previously in service as Jan Mayen , became Helmer Hanssen after the polar explorer Helmer Hanssen .

The future of the ship is uncertain. In the course of the construction of the Kronprins Haakon as a new Norwegian polar research ship, the decommissioning of the ship was considered.
