On August 26, 2011, the ferry 'Sogn', which operates between Bruravik and Brimnes in Hordaland, encountered a mishap as it ran aground on rocks on the southern side of the Hardanger Fjord at 6:44 a.m. At the time of the incident, the vessel was approximately 200 meters away from the Brimnes pier. There were 13 passengers and a crew of six on board, fortunately, none of the passengers sustained any injuries. All passengers were successfully disembarked by 7:45 a.m. The ferry was carrying 10 vehicles when it struck the rocks, leading to damage in its rudder and propeller system. To address the situation, divers were dispatched to assess the extent of the damages. An attempt to refloat the vessel under its own power was made at 10 a.m., but unfortunately, it did not succeed. The ferry will require repairs, which are expected to take place at either Ulvik or Brimnes. For more details, check out the Norwegian news reports with accompanying photos available at VG and NRK.
