Link-Polaris Vessel Reviews and Specifications

In an unfortunate turn of events, the cargo vessel Tananger found itself aground once again on the night of September 1, 2011, off the picturesque coast of Kråkerøy in Fredrikstad. The maritime mishap occurred when the ship collided with a navigation light submerged on the seabed, resulting in the destruction of the light, which is now slated for removal to prevent future obstacles. Fortunately, the Tananger sustained only a minor dent in its hull and was able to navigate under its own power to Øra. By late afternoon, the vessel successfully docked in Frederikstad, with no reports of leaks or pollution impacting the surrounding waters. Local fire department personnel evaluated the situation for safety, ensuring there were no lingering hazards. This incident marks a repeat event for the Tananger, which had previously needed assistance in 2007 when it was pulled free from a rock in the middle of Bjoafjorden, a charming side fjord of both Halsnøy Lake and the Hardangerfjord.
