Reviews & Ratings for the Langsund

In a dramatic maritime rescue operation on July 28, 2017, the fish carrier HRS South Norway responded to a distress call at 12:30 a.m. A 30-foot sailing yacht with three crew members had run aground at Bremangerlandet during its voyage to Bergen and reported taking on water. The situation escalated when a Sea King helicopter was dispatched from Florø to facilitate the crew's evacuation. However, it was soon determined that the situation had been handled by the vessel 'Langsund,' which had left Florø at 1:45 p.m. on July 17 and had successfully retrieved the crew from a dinghy. The 'Langsund' made its way to Eggesbønes, docking at 7 a.m. That same morning, the lifeboat 'Halvdan Grieg' was also on scene, attempting to salvage the stricken yacht, which ultimately sank in a depth of 12 meters.

On the night of March 9, 2014, the fishing vessel "Fjellmøy" played a pivotal role in a dramatic rescue operation involving the "Langsund" at Hustadvika, located in Møre og Romsdal. The fish carrier, with a crew of four, found itself in peril after losing engine power in rough weather. Drifting perilously close to shore—just 400 meters from Kobbeskjæret near Orta—the situation became critical as the hour approached 11:30 p.m. As the winds howled, a trawler from Måløy responded to the emergency, joining a small lifeboat and other nearby craft already on the scene. Notably, the vessel "Havtind" had attempted unsuccessfully to connect with the "Langsund" prior to the arrival of the "Fjellmøy". However, the situation took a turn for the better when the crew of the "Fjellmøy" successfully secured a line to the drifting fish carrier in their first attempt. With teamwork and grit, the "Fjellmøy" and the lifeboat collaborated to pull the "Langsund" to safety in the early hours of March 10, ensuring the safety of its crew amidst challenging conditions.
