Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Remoy

In a startling turn of events on April 4, 2019, at 10 a.m., the fishing vessel 'Remøy' uncovered a lifeless body clad in oil clothing while trawling in Smutthullet, a location within the Barents Sea. The remains appeared to have been submerged for an extended period, making it impossible to ascertain the gender or age of the individual. Following the grim discovery, the body was transported from the fishing grounds to the mainland in Finnmark. It is set to be moved onward to Tromsø for identification purposes. Authorities have noted the absence of any reports regarding missing persons in the vicinity, leaving the community in a state of shock and uncertainty.

On the morning of September 25, 2018, the fishing trawler Remøy reported a significant propulsion failure while navigating north from Sørarnøya and Lekanger. The incident took place just south of Bodø. Fortunately, the crew managed to regain control, allowing the vessel to safely return to port, where it successfully docked at the Rønvik industry park shortly before 11 a.m.

On July 19, a Norwegian court ruled against Captain Ketil Ervik, imposing a hefty fine of €1 million. Although Captain Ervik was absent during the proceedings, a representative lawyer from his company and officials from Norway’s Consulate General attended the hearing. The ownership company of the trawler 'Remøy' faced even steeper consequences, being fined €2 million. The fines are required to be settled within 60 days. Initial claims against the company soared to nearly €9.3 million, a figure reflecting the market value of the shrimp harvested by the 'Remøy' during its three-week fishing expedition in Russian waters this past spring. The vessel was apprehended by the Russian Coast Guard on May 11 and subsequently taken to Murmansk, where the crew was confined to the ship for several weeks before being permitted to return to Norway. An inquiry by the Norwegian Fishery Directorate later revealed that an administrative oversight led to the trawler's detention. The 'Remøy' had sought permission to fish shrimp under a Norwegian quota in Russian waters, and while a license was granted, inaccuracies in the documentation sent to Russian authorities resulted in the misinterpretation of the permissions. Despite this, Russian prosecutors maintain that Captain Ervik was negligent in ensuring compliance with local regulations, alleging that he bore personal responsibility for verifying the permits. After a period of intense diplomatic negotiations, the 'Remøy' was finally allowed to return to Norwegian waters on June 2, concluding its three-week ordeal in Murmansk.
