What Crew Members Say About Thomas-Selmer

On September 20, 2022, the bulk carrier 'Thomas Selmer' docked in the picturesque industrial village of Tyssedal, nestled in Hardanger, with an unexpected stowaway onboard. The vessel, which set sail from Dakar, Senegal, on September 6, was en route to deliver cargo to the Tizir smelter when a hidden passenger was uncovered. The stowaway had been concealed in the ship's engine room for several days before being discovered by the crew. Upon arrival, local authorities boarded the 'Thomas Selmer' to manage the situation. During his time at sea, the stowaway received humane treatment, including accommodation in a cabin and attentive care from the crew. While Norwegian officials have yet to communicate with the Marshall Islands, the ship's flag state, it has been reported by Fjellstad that the vessel's owners have ensured financial arrangements to facilitate the man's return home.
