Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Davik

The 'Davik', a ferry that operates on the Askvoll - Gjervik - Fure route, encountered technical difficulties and was withdrawn from service on March 9, 2026. The vessel was docked in Askvoll for repairs and inspections. To ensure continuity for passengers, a combination of the ferry 'Nordfjord' (IMO: 9341732) and a passenger boat were quickly deployed on March 10. The early departures were reorganized, with the passenger boat facilitating the 06:00 a.m. departure from Askvoll and the 06:15 a.m. departure from Gjervik. The 'Nordfjord' took over the 06:55 a.m. departure from Gjervik. Following this, the passenger boat continued to operate at 08:30 a.m., 09:40 a.m., and 10:20 a.m., while the 'Nordfjord' made an additional stop around 08:50 a.m. The passenger boat managed the 07:30 a.m. departure from Fure. This arrangement remained in effect until a backup ferry was available around 12:30 p.m. Meanwhile, the 'Nordfjord' made a stop in Gjervik en route to Askvoll at about 12:00 p.m. as the situation was being managed.

On the afternoon of March 23, an incident at the Askvoll quay resulted in damage to the ferry 'Davik' after it was struck by the 'Nordfjord,' which was swept against it by strong winds. The collision not only affected the ferries but also caused significant damage to the ferry terminal, necessitating the rerouting of ferries to facilitate the unloading of vehicles. Following the incident, 'Davik' was taken out of service due to the extent of the damage incurred. The operator, Fjord 1, is currently in search of a replacement ferry to alleviate service disruptions. Meanwhile, to accommodate passengers, a different passenger boat was temporarily deployed on the route between Askvoll and Værlandet, starting at 11:45 AM.
