Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Vendla

On September 10, 2013, the vessel Vendla encountered a significant issue with water ingress affecting its engine room, attributed to a leak in the cooling water intake. This incident took place while the ship was docked at Torangsvåg, located in the picturesque region of Austevoll.
