Engine Failure Strikes Tanker 'Ionian Star' Near Fedje

Mar 29, 2019 10:37

In a significant maritime incident on March 29, 2019, the tanker 'Ionian Star', carrying a crew of 19, experienced an engine failure just before 6 a.m., approximately four kilometers west of Fedje. The vessel began drifting perilously toward the shore, prompting swift reactions from nearby vessels. Among the responders were the Norwegian Coast Guard's patrol boat 'Senja', the supply ship 'Far Sigma', and the tug 'Vivax'. Fortunately, at 6:26 a.m., 'Vivax' successfully established a towing connection, stabilizing the tanker until the crew managed to restart its engine. Although rescue helicopters stationed in Florø were deployed to the scene, they were ultimately stood down once the situation was brought under control. The 'Ionian Star' resumed its journey towards Sløvåg, its original destination, arriving safely at 9:15 a.m. during an escort from the tugs 'Vivax' and 'Silex', along with the supply ship 'Far Sigma'. The tanker had embarked from Liverpool on March 24 and departed again from Sløvåg on March 31 at 4 p.m. For more details and photographs of the incident, you can refer to the Norwegian news reports at https://www.tv2.no/a/10512868/ and https://www.nrk.no/hordaland/tankskip-fekk-motorhavari-ved-fedje-1.14495501.
