Rope in propeller may have caused ferry accident
After the replacement ferry "Fjordbas" ran aground on Sep 21 afternoon, the passenger ship "Snarveien" was inserted as a reserve on Sep 22 on the Klokkarvik-Leroy-Bjelkarøy-Hjellestad route. The "Fjordbas" had not been turned astern while maneuvering to dock. After the accident there were found large quantities of rope in the propeller of the "Fjordbas". The talk was of a relatively thin rope, consistent with a rope from a fishing net. There were not found any technical issues. Half an hour after the accident the ferry "Lyna" was inserted as a replacement which, however, does not tranpsort cars. The "Snarveien" usually operates between Nested and Kleppestø and was serving the route until the afternoon when the afternoon. From Saturday afternoon was "Sundferja" tool over. The "Fjordbas" meanwhile headed to a shipyard for a thorough survey. Norwegian report with photos: http://www.bt.no/nyheter/lokalt/Snarveien-ble-reserve-reserve-2769550.html
