Crew member tested positive for COBID 19
One crew member of the 'Bastø 1' has been tested positive for Covid-19, in the afternoon of Dec 2. There has been no danger that the person in question has infected the passengers. The ferry was last in service on Nov 27. Bastø Fosen worked closely with Horten municipality's infection tracking team to map close contacts. The ferry had already been taken out of service before the person who has now been confirmed infected was contagious which meant that the passengers in Bastø Fosen have not been exposed to the risk of infection.
Significant damage in storm ride
The 'Bastø 1' left the port of Horten again on Jan 14 at 7.40 p.m. after the fire brigade had managed to remove the overturned trailer, and berthed in Moss short past 8 p.m. During the day, damaged vehicles were transported away on trailers for further investigations.

Another truck was also thrown around during the rough crossing during which everything came from tables with chairs flying and plates shattered, and damaged other cars. The driver of the overturned truck was injured in the incident. Luckily no one was inside the cars.
