The ship was built in 1976 and is flagged in Barbados. It was converted into an accommodation barge in 1992. It was formerly known as Floatel Stockholm and Dino I.
From 1994 to 1998, it was used to house the homeless, including some asylum seekers, in Hamburg, Germany.
In 2005, it began to be used by the Netherlands to detain asylum seekers in Rotterdam. In 2008, an asylum seeker resident of the Bibby Stockholm died of heart failure following repeated failures to provide adequate healthcare.
In 2013, the barge was used by Petrofac as accommodation for construction workers at the Shetland Gas Plant. During this time, it was berthed at Lerwick, Scotland.
In 2015, a man from Saltcoats, Ayrshire called His Majesty's Coastguard to report that two bombs had been planted on barges - the accommodation ship Gemini, and the Bibby Stockholm. He admitted a charge of threatening or abusive behaviour and was sentenced to a six-month tagging order. The barge was finally towed away from Lerwick by the Cypriot tug Mustang on 31 May 2017, although it had been unused for over a year. It was subsequently towed to the Danish island of Bornholm.
In August 2017, there was some discussion by a property management company about leasing the barge to provide university accommodation to 400 students in Galway, Ireland, along with the Bibby Bergen. However, the plan was generally not workable - the existing docks were not suitable, and the Supreme Court of Ireland had ruled that such a use would require planning permission.
In June 2018, the barge was moved to Piteå, Sweden, to assist in the construction of Markbygden Wind Farm. It stayed there until at least 2019.
In April 2023, the Government of the United Kingdom announced plans to use the ship to house asylum seekers at Portland Port in Dorset, because it would "offer better value for money for taxpayers than hotels", referring to the £5.6m bill for accommodating asylum seekers in hotels.
However, The Guardian reported in July 2023 that the barge would deliver only a trivial cost saving. The plan is for the barge to stay in the port for at least 18 months, containing 506 asylum seekers whose asylum claims are already being considered by the government.
The barge would also contain healthcare provision, catering facilities, and 24-hour security.The plans have met widespread opposition from humanitarian organisations, the local MP and local authorities—who are Conservatives, the party in government. Dorset Council explored legal action to prevent the barge from arriving. On the morning of 17 July 2023, the barge left Falmouth for Portland Port.
In July 2023, an open letter signed by over 50 NGOs, MPs and peers called on the barge's owner, Bibby Marine, part of Bibby Line, to acknowledge its founder John Bibby's links to the Atlantic slave trade and to end the practice of containing asylum seekers on its vessels.
The UN has bashed new British legislation that aims to reduce the number of migrants entering the UK, claiming that it goes against fundamental human rights.
Qais Mohammadi, assistant professor of economics, who was a refugee himself, tells us that the British bill violates international law
