Ferry sidelined due to engine problem

On Juen 10, the 'Roesund', serving on the route Forøy–Ågskardet, had to cancel its service until June 11 at 12.30 p.m. due to problems with the main engine. The ship was sidelined in Forøy. There was an alternative transport from Ågskardet at 06.05 a.m. to Forøy Camping and return at 06.25 a.m., from Ågskardet at 06.45 a.m. and 07.40 a.m. and from Forøy Camping at 07.05 a.m. and 08. 00, a.m. This route was operated by RIB.

New reserve ferry available in May

The Operations Manager Anders Tøsse of Torghatten Nord met with the Transport Committee on March 12 regarding the operations on the Brattvåg–Dryna and acknowledged that there have been far too many cancellations with the reserve ferries on the service. From May the ferry 'Fykan' will be used as a reserve ferry on the service instead of the 'Røsund'. The vessel will provide more predictable operation together with the main ferry 'Haram'. The reserve ferry has mainly weakened the regularity of the connection. In 2023, the regularity was 98.9 % , in 2024 it was 99.0 %. In 2025, there have been many cancellations, most of them as a result of problems with the reserve vessel.
