What Crew Members Say About Scanbio-Aurora

On January 10, 2023, the cargo vessel 'Scan Trans' experienced a grounding incident while navigating from Kristiansund. This occurrence took place at approximately 1 p.m. local time in position 64° 23' 20" N and 010° 30' 45" E. Fortunately, the vessel did not require tug assistance and was able to continue its operations independently. Following the grounding, the 'Scan Trans' proceeded to berth at Kverhusvika Skipsverft for thorough damage assessments and potential repair activities. Fortunately, no oil spills or environmental pollution were reported as a result of the incident.

On the evening of November 6 at 9:30 PM, the vessel 'Scan Trans' required assistance and was successfully towed by the fishing vessel 'Smaragd'. The operation was supported by the lifeboat 'Sundtflyer' as they navigated towards Hestvika, located on the picturesque island of Hitra. This move was necessitated due to rudder damage sustained by the 'Scan Trans', along with two unsuccessful attempts to anchor the vessel. Fortunately, all personnel onboard were reported to be safe and unharmed during this incident.

On November 6, 2012, at approximately 6 p.m., the Rescue Coordination Centre for Southern Norway received an emergency alert regarding the tanker 'Scan Trans' struggling against treacherous weather conditions in Bjugnfjord, with a crew of four onboard. In response to the distress call, the lifeboat 'Sundt Flyer' and the motor vessel 'Smaragd' were dispatched for assistance. Fortunately, as the situation progressed, 'Scan Trans' managed to reach more stable waters by 8 p.m., revealing that the vessel was no longer in immediate peril. The ship encountered gear malfunctions that rendered it unable to navigate independently, coupled with challenges in anchoring amidst the rough seas. This prompted the crew to signal for help while the tanker was situated between Tønnølsflua and Utstrand. The Police South-Trøndelag were informed of the situation but have not yet been called to provide assistance.
