The 'Rønvikbuen' ran aground near Honningsvåg in the Magerøy Sound on the early morning of Feb 13, 2025. With the outgoing tide, the ship was high and dry on the rocks. The NSSR-lifeboat "Odin" moved out from the station in Havøysund, and together with the crew from the passenger ship 'Havila Polaris' ((IMO: 9946910) , which was first on scene and deployed a light boat, the two fishermen on board were rescued and taken on board the "Odin". With the incoming tide, the "Odin" was out again in order to salvage the ship. Report with photos: https://www.altaposten.no/nyheter/i/3MKEMe/redningsaksjon-etter-sjark-havari
