What Crew Members Say About Goma

On August 23, 2019, NRK Traffik reported a disruption in ferry services when the 'Goma', which operates the Sæbø - Lekneset route of Fv 655 connecting Ørsta and Tryggestad, faced unexpected technical difficulties. The ferry service was canceled at precisely 6:13 a.m., leaving commuters seeking alternatives for their travels. After a thorough troubleshooting effort, the 'Goma' successfully resumed operations at 7:17 p.m., restoring crucial connectivity for passengers in the region.

On June 16, 2019, the ferry Goma encountered engine trouble while navigating the picturesque Hjørundfjord. Following the incident, the vessel was successfully towed to the Vegsund slip by a nearby tug. To restore regular service on the Lekneset-Sæbø route, ferry operator Fjord1 deployed the backup ferry Dalsfjorden. It wasn’t until June 18 that operations returned to normal, allowing passengers to resume their journeys without interruption.

On October 2, 2017, at precisely 10:25 AM, the ferry 'Goma' made contact with the ferry pier in Sæbø, leading to significant damage to both the wooden and concrete structures of the quayside. The incident occurred as the vessel was navigating from Trandal to Sæbø, having experienced issues with its maneuvering system. Attempts to halt the ship through emergency anchoring proved unsuccessful. Although there was no visible damage to the bow of the 'Goma', a diver was dispatched to inspect the hull for potential harm. Later that evening, at 7:45 PM, the ferry 'Dalsfjord' was brought in as a replacement for the 'Goma,' which has since remained out of operation.
