Norddeutscher Lloyd had ordered three freight motor ships with unusual three-screw propulsion from the J. Cockerill shipyard in Hoboken near Antwerp. The delivery of these ships laid on Kiel as COBURG, MARBURG and REGENSBURG was originally planned for 1943, but this was delayed due to the impact of the War.
The keel laying of REGENSBURG took place in 1943, but on August 4, 1943, construction work on the ship was interrupted in order to continue building the COBURG. In 1944 Belgium confiscated the hull on the slipway. After being launched without a name on February 14, 1946, the completed ship was finally handed over to CMB as BASTOGNE on July 27, 1947. She became RAVENSTEIN on March 25, 1955.
