Ferry Incident: 'Tranen' Towed to Safety After Technical Failure
On February 9, 2020, the ferry 'Tranen', which was traveling from Sunnhordland to Bergen, encountered significant technical difficulties just outside Austevoll in the afternoon. With 77 passengers on board, the vessel became disabled due to a malfunction with its propeller, leaving it stranded and in need of immediate assistance. Thankfully, the tugboat 'Tjelden' came to the rescue, towing the 'Tranen' to safety at Bekkjarvik in Austevoll. Meanwhile, the stranded passengers were transferred onto the 'Fjordbris', which efficiently transported them to Bergen later that night. This unfortunate incident also caused a one-hour delay for the southern bound route as operations were redirected to assist the 'Tranen'. The ferry was later docked in Leirvik for a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the technical malfunction.

Woman Rescued After Overboard Incident on Ferry Tranen
In a remarkable turn of events, a 40-year-old woman who went overboard from the ferry "Tranen" was safely rescued on the afternoon of June 6, 2011, in the picturesque Sunnhordland region of Norway. At the time of the incident, the ferry was traversing routes between Sunde, Ranavik, Ølen, and Rogaland. The woman had boarded the "Tranen" in Sunde, but her whereabouts became a concern when she was reported missing as the ferry docked at Ølen. Alarm bells rang at 1:38 p.m. when her personal belongings were discovered left behind. Initially, there was confusion regarding whether she had fallen overboard or disembarked at an earlier stop in Skånevik. Fortunately, German tourists on a nearby fishing expedition came to her aid. Hearing her desperate cries for help, they quickly located her in the water and helped her back to the shore, ensuring she was safe and sound. Her quick-thinking rescuers played a crucial role in turning what could have been a tragic incident into a joyous reunion.
