Fortunately, one of the passengers, trained as a doctor, provided immediate assistance until professional medical teams arrived.

Ferry Incident: Two Injured During Turbulent Voyage
On the evening of January 11, 2020, the Color Hybrid, a ferry traveling from Strømstad to Sandefjord, encountered a severe wave that led to chaos on board. A woman and her eight-month-old daughter were thrown to the floor, while her 1.5-year-old son, sitting in a highchair, was knocked over when a table fell on him. Both the toddler and his mother sustained bruises, prompting medical attention for the boy upon arrival in Sandefjord's emergency room. Fortunately, there were no significant damages aside from some broken furniture. In the aftermath of the incident, crew members swiftly closed shops and quickly got to work cleaning up and attending to passengers. Bottles tumbled from shelves in the duty-free area as many guests struggled with seasickness. The dedicated staff was praised for ensuring passenger welfare, distributing water, and regularly checking on those affected.
