Trawler disabled off Fugløya

The "Pechora", 2552 gt, suffered propulsion loss NE of Fugløya on March 11, 2019, and requested towing assistance. The Norwegian lifeboat "Gjert Wilhelmsen" (MMSI: 258005500) left from its station Sørvær and took the trawler in tow towards more sheltered waters where the NSSR-lifeboat "Oscar Tybring" (MMSI: 257231500) from Skjervøy took over. The Norwegian Coastguard vessel "Fram" was monitoring the operation. The lifeboat pulled the disabled vessel to the port of Tromsø where it was safely berthed at 6.30 a.m. It left the port again on March 14 around 4 p.m. and headed to the fishing grounds in the Norwegian Sea.
