The Victor Hensen is a research vessel that sails under the flag of Malta . It is named after the marine biologist Victor Hensen .
history
The Victor Hensen was built in 1974/1975 under construction number 2257 at the Schichau Unterweser shipyard in Bremerhaven . The keel was laid on August 30, 1974, the launch on February 10, 1975. The ship was completed on May 16, 1975. The client was the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen , who had it built for the Institute for Marine Research.
The ship, which by the end of 1985 by the RF Reederei Community Forschungsschiffahrt in Bremen bereedert was, came under German flag with home port of Bremerhaven in driving ( call sign : DBAW).
In 1986 the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) took over the ship. In 1999, the AWI had to part with the ship for cost reasons, because the research ship Heincke came to the AWI when the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven merged with the Biological Institute Helgoland , but the Federal Ministry of Education and Research did not have two medium-sized research ships wanted to finance at the same time. It was bought by the director of the German Maritime Museum (DSM), Professor Dr. Detlev Ellmers . However, plans to keep the ship through charter trips and the establishment of a support association for the museum, where it was to lie in the museum harbor as a modern counterpart to the polar expedition ship Greenland built in 1867 , failed. So the ship was first in Bremerhaven launched .
In 2001 the ship was bought by the wind power company Energiekontor in Bremen, which had it converted for investigations in connection with the planning and construction of wind farms in the North Sea in the Bremerhaven BREDO shipyard. It was renamed La Cour (after the Danish meteorologist Poul La Cour , who was already involved in the generation of electrical energy from wind power at the end of the 19th century ) and came under the flag of Luxembourg. RS Research Shipping (now Jasmund Shipping) from Bremen took over the management.
Since the end of 2004 the ship has been called Victor Hensen again and is now sailing under the flag of Malta, owned by a one-ship company belonging to Jasmund Shipping.
