Trine Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On September 11, 2019, in the tranquil early hours, the bulk carrier 'Trine Charlotte' encountered an unexpected engine failure while navigating the serene Ullsfjord, located approximately 25 miles northeast of Tromsø, Norway. Promptly requesting aid, the vessel was successfully towed to safety by the NSSR lifeboat 'Skomvær 3'. The tow was executed smoothly due to the calm weather conditions and the ship's proximity to shore, situated only 2-3 miles offshore. 'Trine Charlotte' had embarked on her journey from Øksfjord, reaching Hjelnes before departing on September 8 at 3 p.m. She ultimately arrived at the Tromsø harbor, where she was securely moored at 11:50 a.m.

On May 17, 2014, the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue (NSSR) dispatched the lifeboat 'Harald V' to aid the 'Bulk Trans', a vessel that had unfortunately run aground in shallow waters while navigating from Rørvik to Laksnes in the Vikna area. The bulk carrier was reported to be leaning precariously to port as it remained stranded.

On the evening of October 5, the vessel 'Fjordtor I' ran aground at Gåsværet in Meloy, as it was navigating from Bodoe. Remarkably, the ship managed to refloat itself using its own power; however, the incident left the vessel with considerable damage. Following the grounding, the rescue boat 'Ruth Opsahl' provided escort services, guiding 'Fjordtor I' to Ørnes for further evaluation. Upon inspection by divers, the hull was found to have sustained significant damage. Following this assessment, the ship was scheduled to continue on to Rana for necessary repairs.
