Ferry lost engine power
On Dec 9, 2019, the "Bergsfjord" lost engine power in Finnmark enroute to Hasvik and had to turn back to the port of Øksfjord. The failure was caused by a technical error. The deparure from Øksfjord at 4.10 p.m. and at 5:45 p.m. from Hasvik had to be cancelled thus. The ship returned to service at 8.50 p.m.
Ferry suffered hole in the hull
The "Bergsfjord" recently had to decommissioned timewise from the Hasvik route because of a hole in the hull. An inspection had revealed a 40 millimeters long and two millimeters wide hole in the bottom of the ship. It was discovered already on May 26, 2016, on the way from Øksfjord when water ingress was remarked. 21 minutes after departure from Øksfjord bound for Hasvik the ship had to return as a precaution and docked at the nearest pier, where the damage was investigated. The hull was repaired within four days. It was found out that the developer of the ferry port in Bergsfjord had forgotten to remove a part of the structure which poked out of the quay and caused the damage and will now have to pay a compensation.
