On the night of December 23, the 61 meter long, 950 dwt cargo vessel Torvind (IMO: 7332490) became disabled in Norwegian Sea off Hustadvika, Norway. The Torvind was headed to Piraeus when it suffered multiple failures. The cargo vessel had suffered engine failure along with problems with its rudder. Unable to regain power and a loss of steering, the vessel requested assistance. Authorities dispatched the 22 meter long NSSR lifeboat Hans Herman Horn (MMSI: 257035360), the 34 meter long tugboat Waterlord (IMO: 7522150) supported by a rescue helicopter. The NSSR lifeboat arrived on the scene and was able to establish a towline after several attempts to the Torvind. The towline was transferred to the Waterlord and all the vessels proceeded towards Kristiansund.

On December 25, the tow was halted off Sunndalsøra where the Torvind dropped anchor. There were no reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.

On the morning of December 11, the 30 meter long ro-ro passenger ferry Ternen (IMO: 7024641) allided in Skagerrak Sea at Herføl, Norway. The Ternen was approaching the dock at Herføl when it suffered a technical fault causing the ferry to be unable to slowdown.  The ferry continued forward until it struck a building next to the pier. Due the high tide, the Ternen drove further into the building damaging walls and the ceiling of the structure.  Fortunately, there were no injuries to the 5 crew and 7 passengers on board the ferry.

The extent of damage to the Ternen was not disclosed. Authorities were alerted by news reports and dispatched a team to investigate the incident. Reports state the incident was “undramatic” and that no individual was in any danger. The ferry was taken out of service until further notice. News accounts state the building struck was the “old post office” and was currently used as a seasonal shop.

On November 17, 3 fishing vessels would sink in the South Atlantic Ocean in the port of Caleta Olivia, Argentina. A severe storm struck the area with heavy swells and wind gusts reaching 120 kilometers per hour. The 9.88 meter long fishing vessel Yakisa (Registration 03168), 9.89 meter long fishing vessel Barracuda (Registration 02645) and the 9.88 meter long fishing vessel Alborada I (Registration 03129) capsized and sank at their moorings in port.

The vessels had been ordered to be moored to avoid the impact of the severe storm.  However, all 3 fishing vessels were exposed to heavy swells and strong crosswinds causing them to lose stability.  The fishing vessels would end up capsizing and partially sink.

Authorities reported that the 2 security guards onboard were rescued.  There were no reports of injuries. A visual inspection found there were no signs of oil pollution.
