Ferry due at Varaldsøy – Aftenposten

Ferry due at Varaldsøy – Aftenposten

– There’s only crew on board, a total of five people. No one is injured, said rescue leader Jan Lillebø by JRCC Southern Norway, reports Bergens Tidende.

It was MF “Stallovarre” which was stuck on one islet Varaldsøy.

– KV “Ålesund” is on its way. It is intended promote about an hour and half. It is difficult to get other resources to place because of the bad weather, said Lillebø at 23 o’clock. The crew should have fared okay on board.

When BT calling ferry we talk with the captain. He confirmed that the ferry aground and explains that it is the storm that is the cause.

– There was a particularly strong gust as we approached the dock. But there is no drama here, said the captain, who will not give his name.

Coast Guard vessel KV “Alesund” has guarded all night.

– We are still in the area, and we await a tug to tow the ferry by reason. It comes in nine tididada, it is said, says løytntant Tjoralf Juva, deputy commander of KV “Alesund” to BT clock 7:50 Sunday morning.

There should be no danger that the ferry goes down.

– The way it is now there is no leakage or some such. It seems to have gone smoothly. The wind has calmed, and we are going away with a skiff to look into how it is due. So we need to look after each about one might have to wait for high tide before it can be towed by reason.

– We are certainly present in the area until it has come to the wharf, says Juva.
