Steinevik Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On October 3, 2011, the bulk carrier 'Knester' encountered a navigational mishap, running aground in the picturesque port of Sommarøy while laden with an impressive 1,270 tons of herring. Having recently departed from the Norwegian Sea, located between Vesterålen and Iceland, the vessel's substantial size posed challenges as it attempted to navigate the constrained waters filled with sandbars of the small port. Currently, the 'Knester' is awaiting the tide's rise to facilitate its refloating process, after necessary ballast water has been pumped out to lighten the load.
