In this NRK story, there is information about the end of this vessel. It ran aground north of Lille-Molla in Lofoten and was beached to save crew and passengers, just after the war. Interestningly, the ship had a german captain, but was under norwegian command. In the image, it seems the ship was retrofitted with a platform and scouting helicopter with the shape of a Flettner 282 just before the war ended. Museum Nord could possibly provide more info on this.
