In recent days, the Russian trawlers 'Kapelan' and 'Saami' have taken refuge in the scenic fjords of North Troms, navigating the Ullsfjord for over 24 hours near Laukøya.

The situation is equally concerning further north, where the Russian trawler 'Yagry' was reported to be anchored at Laukøya, located east of Arnøya. This influx comes after a yellow warning was issued in the region, indicating the possibility of strong winds, storms, and high waves. The Norwegian Defense has clarified that these trawlers received permission to seek shelter due to adverse weather conditions. Norwegian regulations permit fishing vessels to find refuge during severe storms, ensuring they are directed to safe harbors.
