What Crew Members Say About Nybo

In Finnsnes, crews are set to undertake essential repairs on the 'Rav', which has been docked due to a hull breach. This urgent maintenance involves sealing a significant gash measuring 15-20 centimeters on the vessel's port side. The repair effort is expected to span at least two days. On the evening of March 16, the operation to transfer 940 tons of cargo onto the 'Herøy' was successfully completed. Before the 'Rav' can resume sailing, it must secure a clearance from both the Norwegian Maritime Directorate and Norwegian Veritas. Meanwhile, local fire rescue teams in Lenvik have successfully managed to control an oil leak that had originated from the vessel.

On March 15, 2014, the fishing vessel 'Rav' encountered a significant mishap while fully loaded with solder and en route to Værøy. The vessel collided with an unmarked underwater rock in Gisundet, resulting in a breach measuring 15-20 centimeters at the bow. Taking on water, the 'Rav' managed to reach Lund Quay in Finnsnes for assistance. Emergency services were alerted at 9 a.m. and quickly initiated dewatering operations on the stricken ship. Unfortunately, oil began leaking from the ship's bottom tanks, leading authorities to deploy oil booms around the area to contain the spill. The Norwegian Coast Guard, which had personnel engaged in the 'Cold Response' exercise nearby, provided crucial support with pump equipment and divers. Thanks to the swift action of the rescue teams, they successfully stabilized the situation. Simultaneously, efforts were made to clean up the oil spill using absorbent booms. As the day progressed, the nearby vessel 'Herøy' arrived to assist by transferring 940 tons of capelin for transport to Værøy. The incident, which occurred amid challenging weather conditions characterized by snowdrift and poor visibility, was exacerbated as the 'Rav' inadvertently veered into the old main shipping lane close to Silsand after the southbound lane adjustments at Finnsnes.
