Shipwreck Log

The 12 meter long fishing vessel Svendsen Senior  became disabled in strong winds off Myre, Norway.  The vessel had its propeller fouled by an obstruction and had gone adrift.  The crew of the Svendsen Senior was able to drop anchor before going ashore.   The crew requested assistance from the NSSR which dispatched the lifeboat Knut Hoem to the scene.  The lifeboat Knut Hoem arrived a short time later and took the fishing vessel under tow back to Myre.  At Myre, divers were able to remove the obstruction from the propeller.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
