Working Conditions Aboard the Nordhavet

On March 18, 2019, maritime operations in Norway faced an unusual challenge when the fishing vessel 'Nordhavet' encountered a purse seiner rope entangled in its bow thruster while positioned at Røra, west of Andenes. Fortunately, the crew skillfully navigated the vessel to Andenes port where a swift solution was implemented. A diver aboard the NSSR lifeboat 'Dagfinn Paust' promptly descended into the water to rectify the issue, ensuring the vessel was quickly back in operational condition. This incident underscores the importance of quick responses in maritime emergencies.
