The Gadus-Neptun: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On the evening of November 29, 2025, the fishing vessel 'Gadus Neptun' experienced an incident while navigating through Raftsundet. The trawler, en route north, found itself aground near Brottøya, situated in the northern region of Raftsundet. Fortunately, the ship was able to free itself without external assistance and did not sustain any water ingress. Authorities have confirmed that there were no signs of pollution resulting from the grounding. Following the incident, 'Gadus Neptun' cautiously proceeded towards the shore at a speed of approximately five knots. The local lifeboat, RS 'Sundt Flyer,' provided a safe escort for the trawler as it made its way to the quay in Svolvær. There, divers are scheduled to conduct a thorough inspection of the hull to ensure the vessel's integrity.
