Engine Trouble for the 'Melshorn' Ferry During Tysfjord Journey
On May 28, 2018, shortly before midnight, the ferry 'Melshorn', while navigating the waters from Bognes to Skarberget in Tysfjord, experienced a significant engine failure. This mechanical setback caused the vessel to drift perilously close to the shoreline amid fresh winds. Quick-thinking crew members successfully deployed the anchor, and additional boats were on standby to assist in securing the ferry, ensuring the safety of everyone on board. The ferry was carrying seven passengers and had a crew of three at the time. In an effort to ensure their safety, two passengers were evacuated to the shore with the help of a nearby boat before the ferry was ultimately towed to safety. As the Seaking helicopter based in Bodø was occupied with another emergency, an air ambulance from Evenes was dispatched to the scene. Consequently, the ferry route was temporarily suspended.
