A container ship with 12 crew on board was only 20 meters from the grounding
RS Simrad Buholmen, one of NSSR rescue boats, did an amazing job by preventing the much larger container ship “Pioneer Bay” to run aground.
A container ship with 12 crew on board was only 20 meters from the grounding of Vågsfjorden in New Jersey on Friday. Both the helicopter and rescue boat pulled out.
“Simrad Buholmen”, the smallest of the rescue boats, was the rescue of over a hundred meters long, “Pioneer Bay,” which drove slowly towards the shore.
The captain was afraid to start the engine again since they were only 20 meters from a shallow that the propellers could go down. First, we pushed them off the ground, and dragged our ship to deep water and safe, says Marius Stream, which is the ship’s rescue boats.
