Ferry slid from slip and drifted onto rocks
The "Lofotferje 1" broke off the moorings holding it on a slip at the Lofoten Sveiseindustri in Svolvær on June 3 at 9 a.m. where it was to be pulled ashore. It slid into the water and drifted stern first across the narrow onto the opposite stone embankment. Although the crew was on board there was no chance to gain control of the ferry before it hit the rocks on the other side, narrowly missing a boat. No one was hurt in the incident.
