Container ship breached in grounding
The "BF Fortaleza" with its crew of 12 was under tow to Måløy on Oct 22, 2015, after having run aground enroute from Bergen to Rotterdam around 1 a.m. on rocks at Skatestraumen in Bremanger. The ship suffered a breach amidship and water ingress in the accident. A lifeboat, a tug from Måløy and a Sea King-helicopter from Florø with an additional bilge pump were dispatched to the ship. While it could be refloated later in the day, it suffered significant damage.
