Ex Norwegian "Horten" transformed to Fishery Patrol Wessel, UK-flagged

[Trygve Eriksen]

An Ex-Royal Norwegian Navy auxiliary, "Horten" (named after the city in which she was built) have in February/March 2014 left Norway. She have for a few weeks been in Ramsgate/UK, converted to Fishery Patrol Wessel,  with UK flag, and with given owner/manager (unknown to me).  I wonder if she is going to that mission for UK,  or for what country/area?

Listed as purchased 9/2013 from Norwegian Government by UK company CAS Global Ltd and, as you note, recently delivered to Ramsgate under UK flag.

CAS Global is majority-owned by Stuart Macgregor, and with a strong Nigerian connections through CAS Nautico.  Could be for fishery or anti-piracy operations in West Africa.
