Ferry allided with pier

The "Rygerfjell" damaged a pier and a private boathouse on Fogn suffered in an allision on Nov 3, 2014, half an hour past midnight when the ferry was going to dock. The "Rygerfjell" got a rope in the propeller and some cosmetic damage in the allision and was taken out of service until further notice. There seemed to have been a technical error which should be resolved during the day. The ferry route was back in normal operation at 9.30 p.m. after the ferry "Hjelmeland" was inserted on the route Fogn-Judaberg-Nedstrand-Jelsa.
