Steigtind Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On March 11, 2014, the ferry 'Steigtind' was compelled to terminate its journey from Bodø to Sandnessjøen shortly after departing at 5:30 p.m. The incident occurred off Arnøya, merely 30 minutes into the voyage, when a crucial component of the diesel pump broke down. This mechanical failure severely reduced the ferry's engine capacity, prompting the crew to make a swift decision to return to Bodø for repairs. At the time of the departure, the vessel was carrying 67 passengers, who were safely returned without any reported incidents.

On March 19, 2013, in the challenging waters of Foldfjord, Steigen, the vessel 'Steigtind' played a crucial role in preventing a former Coast Guard ship from grounding. The wooden vessel encountered severe rudder issues amidst turbulent seas. As the lifeboat 'Skuld' made its way to the scene, 'Steigtind' ensured the distressed ship remained afloat and safely maneuvered, averting a potential maritime disaster.
