NoCGV Ålesund was a purpose-built, leased, offshore patrol vessel for the Norwegian Coast Guard of the Royal Norwegian Navy.
In November 1995, the Norwegian Coast Guard ordered two purpose-built chartered Fishery Protection Vessels, the NoCGV Tromsø, a 2,100-ton Polish-built vessel chartered from Tromsø Dampskibsselskab, and Ålesund, a 1,350-ton vessel chartered from Remøy Shipping.
Ålesund was used for general EEZ patrol, including fishery inspection and search and rescue.
