Salvage Team Plans Wednesday Refloat for Container Ship Stranded in Norwegian Garden

Authorities will review work and rest rules after the officer on duty admitted sleeping at the helm

Le navire avait terminé sa course dans le jardin de Johan Helberg, à quelques mètres seulement de sa maison à Byneset, près de Trondheim, dans le centre de la Norvège, jeudi au petit matin.

L'occupant de la maison, profondément endormi, n'a été tiré du lit que par le tambourinement et les appels paniqués de son voisin.

Overview

  • Salvage crews from BOA Offshore say they will remove containers to relieve 1,500 tonnes of bow pressure and refloat the 135-meter, Cyprus-flagged NCL Salten on May 28
  • The Ukrainian officer on watch has been charged with navigational negligence after admitting he fell asleep alone on deck, causing the ship to deviate from its course in the Trondheim fjord
  • All 16 crew members and homeowners Johan Helberg and Joanne Fielder escaped injury, though the vessel came within five meters of their bedroom
  • Police will investigate whether the ship’s work and rest regulations were breached in the hours before the grounding
  • The NCL Salten previously ran aground in 2023 but was refloated by its crew, intensifying scrutiny of its operational safety
