Ferry allided with quay
The "Bogøy", which was leased to the ferry company Boreal, crashed into the quay of the ferry terminal at Søvik Helgeland on Apr 22, 2012, shortl past 1 p.m. with full speed. There were no reports of injuries among the passengers or crew members on board, but several cars have reportedly been damaged in the clash.The "Bogøy" suffered damage at the bow and had thus to be turned around, so that the cars had to back off in reverse at Søvik. The "Bogøy" then sailed to the Slipen Mekaniske in Sandnessjøen for damage inspection. The "Bogøy" was hired from Torghatten to serve the Søvik-Herøy route after the car ferry "Petter Dass" grounded at Levang on Apr 16.
