Norwegian Coastguard ice-breaker - KV "Svalbard"

Another short no-commentary clip reel of shots from our still unfinished documentary on climate change and security in the Arctic. This was cut, like the F35 reel, as a "thank you" to the crew of the Norwegian Coastguard icebreaker, the KV "Svalbard".
It's role includes supervising Norwegian regulations for fishing in Norwegian waters and there are a few shots from a sequence where Norwegian coastguards board a Russian trawler to confirm it's catches were legal (which they were).
Thanks again to the amazing crew for their support on the voyage from Tromso to Longyearbyen via Bear Island back in 2019.

Does water come up the low hawse pipe in those heavy sea poundings?

Afraid this is a bit technical for me; suffice to say the Svalbard spends most of it's working time in some of the roughest seas in the Northern hemisphere.

Maybe a viewer has served or is serving in the ship.
