Read Authentic Ratings for the Feed-Helgeland

On August 27, 2026, the Feed Helgeland faced a significant detention in Brake due to a staggering 29 deficiencies identified during a safety inspection. Among these deficiencies, nine were classified as serious, prompting the authorities to take immediate action. The issues uncovered included critical structural problems such as corrosion on deck and holes, life-saving equipment not meeting regulatory standards—including emergency communication devices and lifejackets—along with a malfunctioning Ballast Water Management System aimed at preventing pollution. In addition, maintaining water and weather tightness was flagged, with ventilators, air pipes, manholes, and flush scuttles not being properly maintained. Fire safety regulations also came under scrutiny, revealing inadequate firefighting equipment, improperly maintained fire doors, and a lack of necessary training for crew performance evaluation. After addressing these serious safety issues, the Feed Helgeland was granted its release and departed Brake on September 1, bound for Averøy. Authorities continue to stress the importance of compliance with safety standards to ensure the welfare of crew members and the protection of marine environments.
