Attempt to salvage grounded tug failed
The tug "Lomax" ran aground at Lerøyosen in the Kors Fjord in the night from Feb 28 to Mar 1, 2015. The Norwegian Coastguard was notified about the incident shortly after midnight. The ambulance boat "Rygervakt" arrived first at the site. The "Njord" was asked to assist the 25-meter tug and was on scene 15 minutes after later. With a pump the "Njord" made attempts to dewater the tug and undertook several attempts topull the vessel off jointly with the "Rygerbuen". But due to the combination of shallow waters around the tug, strong winds and heavy seas it capsized before it could be salvaged. At 02.30 the crew of two was evacuated and taken aboard the "Njord" and taken to the Flesland quay.
