Read Authentic Ratings for the Noren

On December 10, 2025, at 2:19 p.m., the Swedish Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC) received an alert regarding a collision involving the cargo ship 'Noren', which was sailing from Shoreham to Hargshamn. The incident took place near Onsala, to the northwest of Nidingen, where 'Noren' collided with a Swedish 20-meter fishing trawler. In response, the JRCC promptly dispatched various emergency assets, including the Coast Guard patrol vessels 'Poseidon-KBV 001' and 'KBV 475', alongside a Search and Rescue (SAR) helicopter from Gothenburg and the lifeboat 'Josephine' (MMSI: Obsala) from the Sjöräddningssällskapet located in Hovås. Fortunately, initial assessments indicated that both vessels sustained only minor damage, with no injuries reported among the crew members. However, to ensure maritime safety, a preliminary inquiry into potential negligence in maritime navigation was instigated, examining the circumstances surrounding the collision and investigating any possible criminal implications. Sobriety checks conducted aboard both vessels revealed no infractions. On December 11, the Swedish Coast Guard reported that the captain of 'Noren' was fined 60 daily fines for maritime negligence, which were settled immediately. While both ships escaped significant harm, the fishing vessel experienced some engine and equipment malfunctions post-collision and was subsequently towed to a shipyard for necessary repairs. Meanwhile, 'Noren' resumed its journey and successfully reached its destination port on December 13.
