Admiralen Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On January 18, 2012, at 2:03 PM, the small ferry 'Beffen' experienced a mishap when it collided with the side of the 'Tideadmiral' in Bergen. Following the incident, the 'Beffen' was docked at Munke Pier, where it remained for inspection and repairs. Fortunately, no injuries were reported; however, the high-speed ferry sustained minor damage as a result of the collision. At the time of the incident, there was only one passenger aboard the 'Beffen'. Initial assessments suggest that a mechanical failure in the 'Beffen's engine may have led to this unfortunate allision. Subsequently, the ferry was taken out of service until the necessary repairs were completed. Local authorities, including the police, have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision. A mechanic from a workshop in Lakesvåg has been called upon to address the repairs. Notably, the 'Beffen' has been a vital transportation link operating between Nordnes and Bryggen for over a century.
