Summary

[edit]
Description
English: MV Polarbjorn – to be named HMS Protector

The ship that will fulfil HMS Endurance’s role as an interim Antarctic patrol vessel entered Portsmouth Naval Base for the first time today (May 23).


The ice-breaker MV Polarbjorn – to be named HMS Protector - has been leased on a three-year contract from Norwegian company GC Rieber Shipping and has just completed an intensive ten-day refit in Odense, Denmark.

The vessel – painted in the same distinct red and white livery as her predecessor ice patrol ships - entered Portsmouth as MV Protector under the Norwegian flag. She will be officially named HMS Protector on June 1 and will be commissioned into the Royal Navy fleet on June 23. She will deploy on the Navy’s Antarctic task in November, serving in the region for the 2011-12 austral summer. Meanwhile the long-term future of Endurance will be considered.
