She was launched in 1921 as Moälven and was a conventionally-built timber rafting tugboat at Jerfeds Mekaniska Verkstad in Örnsköldsvik Municipality in Västernorrland County in Sweden.
Moälven was built, owned and used by the Mo och Domsjö company to pull timber Logs rafted for towing from the areas along the river Moälven down to Domsjö Fabriker in Örnsköldsvik.
She was renamed to Carrimatt in the fifties during a refit, which saw her converted from timber tugboat to Pleasurecraft, but was later renamed back to Moälven.[2]
