Shipwreck Log

The 129 meter long, 5175 dwt freighter Lysvik Seaways went aground in the Svinesnd near Sponvika, Norway.  The Lysvik Seaways was en route to Halden from Immingham with a cargo of paper when it attempts to pass through the sound in thick fog and strong currents. As it approached the Sviensund Bridge, the vessel grounded.  The vessel’s hull was holed in the ballast tank.  No reports of injuries or pollution released. The Lysvik Seaways refloated  itself with own power and berthed in Halden. The freighter had a pilot on board at the time of the incident.
