Working Conditions Aboard the Klakkur

A tragic working accident aboard the 'Geir II' off Tromsøflaket resulted in the death of one crew member on September 30, 2010. The incident occurred at approximately 5:27 a.m., several hours after the fatal event took place. Despite the alarm being raised for a helicopter rescue, the operation was called off at 6:24 a.m. by the rescue center, as the crew member had succumbed to injuries sustained from being caught in a conveyor belt. At the time of the accident, the vessel was located 125 miles northeast of Tromsø and subsequently made its way to port, arriving at 4:30 p.m. with its remaining crew from Nordmøre. In response to this tragic incident, a team of three from the Accident Investigation Board, based in Lillestrøm, has been dispatched to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances, particularly given that the ship had only been delivered on September 3.
