What Crew Members Say About Aurora-Sandefjord

On the morning of November 4, 2025, at 6:28 a.m., authorities were alerted to an accident on the 'Aurora Offshore' docked in Sløvåg, Gulen, where a crew member fell approximately three to five meters into an open hatch, striking chains upon landing. At the time of the incident, the vessel was making preparations for a bottom mooring operation bound for the North Sea. Fortunately, some water in the cargo hold may have mitigated the impact of the fall. The crew promptly summoned an ambulance, and the injured individual was conscious when help arrived. Following a medical evaluation, he was transported to Haukeland with only minor injuries. In the aftermath of the incident, police initiated an investigation and have since interviewed all personnel involved. Additionally, the vessel's captain reported the situation to the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority.
