The Cypriot-flagged, 886 teu containership NCL Salten ran aground overnight only a few meters from a house on the shore in Norway’s Trondheim fjord.
There have been no reports of oil spills or injuries onboard the North Sea Container Line-owned boxship. The only real damage caused was to a heating pipe outside the house where the ship came to rest in shallow waters. The cause of the incident is not yet known and is under investigation.
The Norwegian Coastal Administration is taking over the salvage operation together with the vessel’s owner. There are several tugboats located in the area that could assist with the operation.
The owner of the house, identified in local media as Johan Helberg, was not even aware that the incident had happened.
According to Helberg, he slept just 7 m from where the bow of the vessel has now grounded.
