The ship was built in 1980 as an oil tanker for a Norwegian company, and was christened Freeport Chief, since then, it has been renamed Dorsetshire (1990), Protank Orinoco (1991), Vemacape (2009), Lafayette (2014) and lastly, Damanzaihao. In 2008 the vessel was converted to a fish factory ship in a Chinese shipyard.

Illegal fishing
In 2014, the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) put Damanzaihao on a draft list of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) vessels. Following a review, its listing was confirmed in 2015 and fined $800,000 which remains unpaid as of 2018.

The ship was detained by agents from the Peruvian Environmental Prosecutor's Office on 30 May 2018 following additional allegations of illegal fishing and pollution of Chimbote Bay in Peru. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's MV John Paul DeJoria vessel operated in Peruvian waters to investigate and gather information to assist the government.
