What Crew Members Say About Hamaroey

On May 8, 2017, the ferry 'Hamarøy', operating on the route between Ranavik and Skjersholmane, experienced a critical failure due to a ruptured diesel fuel pipe. This malfunction led to an unexpected loss of engine power, compelling the vessel to return to Skjersholmane for safety reasons. In light of the incident and the need for immediate service restoration, the 'Hardingen' was dispatched to take over the ferry operations temporarily. The incident underscores the importance of regular maintenance and the rapid response required to ensure operational safety in maritime transport.

On September 11, 2012, the ferry 'Hamarøy' encountered a significant technical issue that led to numerous cancellations and delays. The incident was triggered by a rupture in a fuel pipe, resulting in a diesel leak that forced the crew to shut down the engine. As a precaution, the nearby ferry 'Tysfjord' was called to tow the stricken vessel to Lødingen around midday. Upon arrival in Lødingen, the 'Hamarøy' was safely docked by two lifeboats.
