On September 19, 2013, the vessel 'Vestlandia' faced technical difficulties with its rudder while navigating the challenging waters of the Davis Strait. In response to the situation, the ship's owner opted to redirect the vessel to Nuuk for necessary repairs. This incident prompted Royal Arctic Line and Royal Arctic Bygdeservice to adjust their schedules affecting the Uummannaq and Upernavik areas. In the interim, the vessel 'Pajuttaat' has taken over the transportation of essential supplies to the affected districts. As of now, the timeframe for completing the repairs on the 'Vestlandia' remains uncertain.
