Sundt Flyer assisted in several cases

On Mar 24, 2015, the "Elnesfisk" suffered a fouled propeller at 4 a.m. and requested the lifeboat "Sundt Flyer" which has two divers on board to assist. A diver went down and picked up the yarn from the propeller. At 8 a.m. the "Havsula" suffered a similar problem in Stamsund off Oddvær with nets in the propeller. While the lifeboat crew was still dealing with the "Havsula", the "Texas" was fouled in the Austnesfjord. There was no choice but to summon the lifeboat which changed course into the Austnes fjord where the "Texas" was taken in tow and delivered at O. Marhaug in Svolvær, before the "Sundt Flyer" continued with the other requests along with "Det Norske Veritas".
