Wednesday, Feb 23: Crews in Norway are attempting to avoid a 263-meter barge provider from going swamped after the ship obviously dragged support as well as wandered precariously near coast in hefty climate.

The vessel is the Comoros- flagged Tide Carrier. According to records the vessel dragged support as well as endured some sort of engine failing while off Feistein Fyr, situated to the south of Bergen, Norway.

At one factor the vessel concerned within 100 meters coast prior to yanks had the ability to link a line to the vessel, records claim.

Five non-essential workers have actually been eliminated from the vessel by helicopter as well as, according to records, 15 staff continue to be aboard together with 2 salvage workers, that are preparing the vessel for a tow.
