Read Authentic Ratings for the Kystbunker-Ii

On January 14, 2025, the 'Kystbunker II', a bunker tanker, encountered trouble while sailing from Rørvik to Kristiansund. The incident occurred between Glasøya and Geitøya, just west of Namsos in Flatanger, as it ran aground during the high tide at 2 p.m. The vessel, known for transporting bunker and lubricating oils, was navigating through the challenging Folda stretch—a section of sea notorious for its rough conditions. At the time of the grounding, light southwesterly winds prevailed in the region. Fortunately, there were no injuries, damage, or pollution reported from this incident. The tanker remained stranded until it was successfully pulled off the ground early the next day, January 15, at 1 a.m. by the assistance vessel 'Aqua Seawork'. Following the rescue, the 'Kystbunker II' continued its journey to Kristiansund, where it safely docked at 6 p.m. UTC. The 'Kystbunker II' has ongoing contracts with fish farming companies across the region, stretching from Tananger in the south to Båtsfjord in the north, facilitating essential bunker and lubricating oil deliveries. After the incident, the vessel was directed to Vegsund Slip AS in Eidsnes for necessary repairs.
