Kronprinsen was a 7,078 GRT cargo ship that was built as Empire Fairbairn in 1942 by Barclay Curle & Co, Glasgow, Renfrewshire, United Kingdom for the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT). She was transferred to the Norwegian Government before completion and renamed Kronprinsen. She served until 9 June 1942, when she was torpedoed and damaged by U-432 off Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. She was under repair until October 1943.

In 1945, she was sold into merchant service. In 1952, she was sold to a Panamanian company and renamed Vori. In 1967, she was sold to a Greek company and renamed Lukia M. She sprang a leak on 10 February 1969, off Barren Island in the South China Sea, and was abandoned. The ship was towed to Shanghai, China, where it was reported that it had been seized by the Chinese Government.
