febr.24-2007 Coastal Express vessel Nordstjernen was towed into Florø in Western Norway after a dramatic engine failure early late last night. The vessel was heading for the rocks when naval vessel Mjølner, in the area to assist the German minesweeper Grömitz, got a line on board and pulled the vessel into open water. A Norwegianrescue vessel later took the Nordstjernen in tow to Florø. When the vessel was drifting without power she hit the bottom at least once. |
