Ferry towed to port after engine trouble
In the afternoon of Nov 26, 2016, the "Vikingen", enroute from Ranavik to Skjersholmane, suffered engine trouble on the Bømla Fjord. The main engine had to be turned off after several alarms were raised, and the ship went adrift off Eldøyane in favourable weather conditions for a while before getting tug assistance. At 3.15 p.m. the ferry was towed into the port of Skjersholmane where passengers and cars could be disembarked before the ship was taken to a repair yard. The "Hardingen" which was berthed in Sunde was called in as a replacement ferry. Norwegian report with photo: http://www.sunnhordland.no/nyhende/vart-slept-inn-til-skjersholmane-1.2200487
