Catamaran ferry stuck on sandbank
The ' Fjordcharter Adventure' got stuck on a sandbank at Nordfjordeid in Vestland County on April 29, 2025, at 6 p.m. The company that owns the catamaran believed that the side propellers of the cruise ship 'Aidnova' pushed the catamaran onto the sandbank. No one was injured. The catamaran was waiting for the tide to return so that they can get off the sandbank. The catamaran was towed off the sandbank by a small vessel after a few hours. There were no passengers on board the catamaran, only crew. The ' Fjordcharter Adventure' was towed to the Måløy Yard by the "Dykkerservice 10", so there must have been some damage.
