Torvang has capsized in Hendvågen in Averøy
The 'Torvang' with five crew members on board has capsized in Hendvågen in Averøy and was leaning on the quay onthe morning of May 23, 2025. Two of the crew on board jumped into the water and swam to shore themselves. The other three got onto the quay. The ship was moored at th quay when it listed to port side and suddenly overturned. The cargo hold was full of water. A sludge suction machine has been ordered, and it was hoped that the ship might right itself when it has emptied the hold of water. None of the five crew members were injured after the incident, but they have been given warm and dry clothes. An ambulance was on the way. The Norwegian Coastal Administration took over. Fire boats and the lifeboat 'Bergen Kreds' of the NSSR attended the scene. There were currently no signs of diesel or oil spills. The police were on site and started questioning those involved.
