Freifjord Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On the evening of March 18, 2018, the 'Freifjord,' while navigating through the Edøy Fjord after departing the Elnesvåg area, encountered significant engine troubles stemming from an oil leak that allowed seawater to infiltrate the engine room. This unfortunate incident led to damage affecting both the vessel's propulsion system and its electrical components. The situation prompted a swift response, with the lifeboat 'Erik Bye' and tugboat 'Karl' stepping in to provide assistance. By 4 a.m. on March 19, 'Freifjord' was successfully towed into the port of Vågen. Upon arrival at Nordmørs Quay, local fire services were on standby and quickly deployed an oil boom around the ship to contain any potential environmental hazards from the leak. Later that day, at 2 p.m., 'Freifjord' was moved to Kristiansund Yard in Vågen for further inspection and repairs. Stay updated for more maritime news and developments.
