Shipwreck Log

The 21 meter long fishing vessel Sjohav ran aground near Valsøya, Norway. The crew sent out a distress call requesting assistance after the vessel was hard aground on a reef.  A Sea King helicopter was dispatched to the scene with dewatering pumps, but the vessel did not require any additional pumps.  The Sjohav had suffered a hole in the hull, but was in no risk of sinking.   The Sjohav was refloated a short time later with the aid of nearby vessels.  The Sjohav was taken under tow to Tranøya.  No reports of injuries to the 5 crew on board.
