Slaatteroy Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On March 21, 2020, the fishing vessel 'Slåtterøy', crewed by ten personnel, encountered a precarious situation at the quay in Austevoll. The vessel suddenly leaned heavily to its starboard side, putting the crew in a critical position. While performing deck maintenance, the crew quickly reacted to the tilt by jumping ashore to ensure their safety. The imbalance was attributed to water accumulating in a tank on deck, which shifted to one side, causing the purse seiner to lose its equilibrium. Fortunately, after pumping out the excess water, the 'Slåtterøy' was successfully returned to an upright position. The vessel had recently returned from fishing in the Atlantic Ocean and had docked prior to the incident.
