Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Nyfjell

The vessel 'Nyfjell', which ran aground on December 4, 2015, east of Risøya in Skatestraumen, has completed its repairs and is ready to navigate once again. After being towed to Øelen on December 6, the ship departed from the port on February 13, 2016. It is now en route to Haugesund, with an expected time of arrival on February 15, 2016. This marks a significant milestone for the 'Nyfjell' as it resumes operations following the grounding incident.

In a dramatic incident on December 4, 2015, at 4:40 a.m., the cargo vessel 'Nyfjell' ran aground east of Risøya in Skatestraumen, located in Sogn og Fjordane. The ship, which had five crew members aboard, initially prompted a swift response from the lifeboat 'Halfdan Grieg.' Despite attempts to dislodge the vessel, the lifeboat had to abandon efforts as the 'Nyfjell' began to take on water in its engine room. To prevent further damage, the lifeboat assisted in removing water from the ship using a bilge pump. As a precautionary measure to facilitate salvage operations, the crew decided to jettison the cargo of gravel at 8 a.m. This action aimed to lighten the vessel and make it easier to refloat. The situation was closely monitored by the Norwegian Coastguard's 'Boa Heimdal,' while two tugs, 'Stadt Årdal' (IMO: 8414829) and 'Stadt Sløvåg' (IMO: 8414817), were dispatched from Florø to aid in the salvage efforts. By 9 a.m., the 'Nyfjell' was successfully refloated and subsequently towed to the quay in Måløy. There, divers from the lifeboat began a thorough inspection of the vessel's hull using an underwater camera. The 'Nyfjell' berthed in Øelen on December 6 at 11:30 a.m., completing its journey after having been en route from Florø to Nordfjordeid when the grounding occurred.

On May 16, 2023, at approximately 4 p.m., a quay in Karmøy, Norway, experienced a significant collapse while the cargo vessel 'Nyfjell' was in the process of unloading. The 'Nyfjell' (IMO number 7602584), which had docked at Sævelandsvik several days prior, was nearing the end of its discharge operations when the incident unfolded. Eyewitness reports indicated that a substantial quantity of gravel was being unloaded at the time, leading to the collapse of the quay, resulting in debris and crushed rock falling into the harbor basin adjacent to the ship. Fortunately, the vessel itself escaped any damage during the unfortunate event. For further details, you can view the Norwegian report and a corresponding photo at H-Avis.
