Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Lofotferge-1

On June 3 at approximately 9 a.m., an unsettling incident unfolded at the Lofoten Sveiseindustri in Svolvær when the ferry 'Lofotferje 1' unexpectedly broke free from its moorings. Scheduled to be pulled ashore, the ferry instead slipped into the water and drifted stern-first across a narrow channel, ultimately colliding with the opposing stone embankment. Despite having crew members aboard, attempts to regain control of the vessel were unsuccessful before it made impact with the rocks, narrowly avoiding a nearby boat. Thankfully, no injuries were reported as a result of this incident.
