Wreck of tug ashore for scrapping
The wreck of the "Chanko" has been disposed of ashore at Roedbergodden in the Tjeld Sound south of Harstad for dismantling. http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2050361
Tug salvaged but beyond repair
The "Chanko" which suffered an engine failure and drifted ashore on Edøya off Sommarøy in a nature reserve was found to be beyong repair and has to be broken up. Arctic Seaworks were engaged to drain the diesel and oil and remove the wreck from the area that was forbidden to enter since May 1. On May 10 Arctic Seaworks lifted the wreck onto a barge which was towed to Harstad by the tug "Barents Ocean" on May 11 where it will be dismantled now.

Tug grounded and sank off Edøya
The "Chanko" ran aground and sank short time later west of Sommerøya in Malangen on Apr 22, 2014, at 1 a.m. The tug had pulled in six salmon cages when suffering a breakdown off Skarvhalsen just after 00:30 a.m., causing it to drift aground in waves of four to six metres and strong winds. The crew of four was rescued by the lifeboat "Kaptein Skaugen" from a dinghy in a dramatic operation. All aboard were unharmed and transported to Tromsø where they went to a hotel. The master said the tug had hit an obstruction causing the propeller to get fouled. One of the cages also landed on the cliffs of Edøya. On Apr 23 and 24 two surveillanceflights were carried out and a minor diesel spill of three kilometers length observed while the half submerged tug was heavily beaten by the surf.
