The Stephan Jantzen is a decommissioned icebreaker . The ship was built in 1967 as the last ship of the Nikitich class, a series of 21 units, at the Leningrad Admiral Shipyard and named after the former pilot commander Stephan Jantzen (1827–1913) in Warnemünde .
history
The keel was laid in 1965, the commissioning in early 1968. Stephan Jantzen drove from 1967 to 1990, managed by the dredging, towing and salvage shipping company (BBB) , for the GDR Maritime Office and from 1990 to 2005 for the then Waterways and Shipping Office Stralsund . The home port was Rostock until 1990 , then Stralsund . The ship was Germany's second largest icebreaker.
On April 2, 2005, the icebreaker was decommissioned and replaced by the multi-purpose ship Arkona . The icebreaker was bought by the Greek shipping company Beta Mar Limited in an internet auction organized by the Federal Collecting Society ( VEBEG ) for EUR 430,000 . The shipping company jumped off and let the 40,000 euro deposit expire. In the course of 2005 the name was changed to Stephan .
In February 2006, the ship was renamed Ice King , flagged to Panama, registered there as the owner of Newstart Shipping SA and the management of the ship was transferred to Dimitrios Zafiropoulos in Piraeus. In May 2006, the icebreaker got a US owner, the New York real estate dealer and model agency owner Paolo Zampolli , who bought the ship for 450,000 euros and wanted to convert it into a "luxury icebreaker" for private trips in the Arctic and Antarctic . The McFarlane planning office published drafts for this on the Internet. The new owner had the ship registered in Kingstown Harbor on St. Vincent , but not picked up from its berth on the quay of the Stralsund Nautineum on Dänholm , which belongs to Stralsund ; he stated that he had not found a shipyard that could convert the icebreaker as desired.
In 2008 it was renamed again to the old name Stephan Jantzen and in February 2009 the Fort Lauderdale- based brokerage company Fraser Yachts Worldwide offered the ship on the Internet for 3.5 million US dollars or 2.8 million euros .
From August 9, 2009, the Stephan Jantzen was lying in the Rostock city harbor at berth 83 near the “Fischerbastion” car park; it was operated by IG Eisbrecher "Stephan Jantzen" and could be viewed. On July 17, 2012, the association had to stop its work at short notice because the ship was supposed to leave its berth in Rostock, but this did not happen. At the end of 2012 the icebreaker was renamed King Ludwig II of Bavaria and registered as a yacht at the Regensburg District Court. From July 5, 2013 to September 16, 2014 the icebreaker was in Rostock's overseas port, and the Stephan Jantzen has been back in Rostock's city port since then .
Who is the owner of the ship and whether the renaming to King Ludwig II of Bavaria was therefore permissible was unclear for a long time and should be clarified in court. On February 24, 2016, the ship was seized by the bailiff due to outstanding berth and security costs.
In June 2018 the Hanseatic City of Rostock bought the ship. She wants to keep it as a museum ship in Rostock's city harbor. The ship was put back into operation for the first time in October 2018.
