Fishing Nets Disable 'Ringbas' Amid Gale in Solheim Fjord
On the evening of October 17, 2011, severe gale-force winds posed a significant challenge for the vessel 'Ringbas' as it became incapacitated due to fishing nets entangling its propeller in the Solheim Fjord, located south of Florø. The emergency alarm was triggered at 6:55 p.m., prompting a swift response from the lifeboat 'Kristian Gerhard Jebsen'. The rescue team worked tirelessly, with a diver successfully clearing the obstructed propeller within a remarkable timeframe of six hours. Departing from Maløy, the lifeboat reached the stricken vessel by 8:15 p.m., only to find it perilously close to the seabed just west of Østre Furusund. While the lifeboat initially intended to tow 'Ringbas' directly to Florø, the intense winds necessitated a course adjustment towards Gunhildsvågen. Upon investigation, the diver discovered that the bow thruster was also heavily ensnared in nets, further complicating the recovery process.
