Trawler in diplomatic row in Reykjavik
The "Næraberg" on its way home from fishing mackerel in the Greenlandic economic zone, developed engine trouble and radioed the Icelandic Coast Guard for assistance. They responded by dropping the requested spare parts by parachute to the "Næraberg". The repairs got the ship moving again, but not at full speed. As a storm was on its way the skipper set a course for Reykjavik in spite of the fact that the Faroes and Iceland banned each other’s ships from their waters due to a dispute that keeps Iceland out of an international fishing agreement, and initially, the "Næraberg" was asked to turn back. The ship was eventually permitted to dock, but on the condition that none of the crew of 34 left the ship. Once in port, the "Næraberg" was also prevented from making repairs or from taking on food, water or fuel. After the situation was cleared a few days after arriving in Reykjavik, the "Næraberg" steamed out again, under full power and fully stocked with provisions.
