What Crew Members Say About Reinoy

On June 13, 2015, at 1:30 p.m., the ferry operations on the Storstein-Lauksundskaret-Nikkeby route faced cancellation due to unforeseen technical difficulties with the vessel 'Reinøy', which was immobilized in Storstein. The ferry experienced a power outage stemming from generator issues, prompting the dispatch of a technician from Tromsø to resolve the matter. As the day progressed, the alternative vessel 'Ocean Artic' was brought in to accommodate passengers. However, adverse weather conditions hindered the pickup of travelers at Lauksundskaret, forcing 'Ocean Artic' to continue its journey to Arnøyhamn. The interim plans indicated that the ferry was scheduled to dock at the floating dock in Nikkeby and later make a stop at Kong wharf in Skjervøy. With the ongoing poor weather, accurate timing for the vessel’s initial departure remained uncertain.
