Grounding after engine breakdown
The "Amerloq" on Apr 1, 2012, at 5.40 p.m. suffered an engine breakdown enroute to Tromsø, causing it to run aground on a reef at Rogn island north of Langevåg in the Borgundfjord. The ship had a Russian crew of 26. Lifeboats and tugs were quickly on scene as well as a Seaking helicopter from Florø which was monitoring the site for possible oil spills. The lifeboat "Magnus Lagabøter" from Ålesund established a tow at 5.51 p.m. The lifeboat "Halfdan Grieg" later towed the ship to Fiskerstrand Yard.
