Speed boat ran into Hurtigruten ferry
No one was injured when the "Øyglimt" collided with the Hurtigruten ferry "Lofoten" in the morning of Jan 7, 2015. There were 86 passengers and a crew of 39 on board the "Lofoten" when the collision happened at hat 8.30 a.m. off Måløy in Sogn og Fjordane. The skipper of the speed boat was alone and taking on the blame for what happened. He admitted to have been inattentive and watching a boat that passed on the other side. He was only able to reduce speed thus reducing the impact. The "Øyglimt" suffered some damage above the waterline. The "Lofoten" left the port after inspections at 10 a.m. Norwegian report with photo: http://www.fjt.no/nyheter/article10518348.ece
