1939 Byggekontrakt undertegnet 29/01 av Hvalfangerselskapet Kosmos A/S, Hvalfangerselskapet Kosmos II A/S (Anders Jahre A/S), Sandefjord for levering november 1941.
Bygget som JASMIN ved Odense Staalskips Værft, Odense, Danmark. Sjøsatt 10/06. Etter krigsutbruddet i april ble skipet beslaglagt av tyskerne og etterhvert tatt “im Anspruch”.
Forsterket med ca. 500 tonn stål ferdig for krigstjeneste. Levert i juni som HOLSTEIN til Die Kriegsmarine (Erste Deutsche Walfang G.m.b.H.), Hamburg, Tyskland.
1943 Benyttet til moderskip for ubåter. Torpedert 16/05 utenfor Mandal. Deretter brukt som flytende lager.
1945 Gjenfunnet i Lübeck i sterkt skadet tilstand. Frigitt av Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) 24/08. Benyttet av allierte myndigheter som lagertanker for elektrisitetsverket i Lübeck.
1946 Frigitt i Lübeck 09/03 og slept via København til Framnæs mek. Værksted, Sandefjord for reparasjon. Ankom Sandefjord 30/09. Rederiet betalte NOK 2.913.000 for fartøyet. Hoved- og hjelpemaskineri ble sendt til Danmark for reparasjon.
I selskapets sirkulære av 20/10-1946 kan man lese:
«M/T JASMIN. Dette skip, en 15 350 tonns tanker, skulle ha vært levert til Kosmos- selskapene i november 1941. Den tyske krigsmarine beslagla imidlertid skipet. Ved krigens opphør befant det seg i Lübeck i meget skadelidt forfatning. Det ble frigitt den 24 august 1945, men tross frigivelsen la de britiske militærmyndigheter i Lübeck beslag på skipet og anvendte dette som lagertanker. Etter en del forhandlinger lyktes det oss å få frigitt skipet den 9 mars i år. Skipet ble tauet til København, hvor vi hadde håpet å få det reparert. Da reparasjonen av skroget ikke kunne påbegynnes der før i januar 1947, ble skipet tatt hjem til Framnæs mek. Værksted, Sandefjord, hvor reparasjonen nå er i full gang. Såvel hoved- som hjelpemaskineri er under reparasjon i Danmark. Skipet vil antagelig kunne leveres i reparert stand en gang på våren 1947».
