Disabled Survey Vessel 'Ocean Observer' Successfully Towed to Lerwick
On May 1, 2019, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the survey vessel 'Ocean Observer' encountered a significant challenge when its 1200-meter-long survey cables became entangled with the propellers during operations at its designated survey site. The ship was immobilized at coordinates 59°19'00" N, 001°27'00" E by 23:26 hours on the same day. It's important to note that there were no engine malfunctions reported, with the ship maintaining only bow thruster functionality.
