Two ferries on Oslo Fjord disabled
Two of the ferries on the Horten-Moss route were out of service due to technical problems, while the Oslo Fjord tunnel was closed at the same time, so that there were long queues on the quay in Moss, and waiting times of at least an hour to get on one of the ferries of Bastø Fosen on May 22, 2017. Both the "Bastø IV" and "Bastø VI" were out of order. The first departures of the "Bastø VI" would have been at 6.45 a.m. from Horten and at 7.30 a.m. from Moss. The sailings were cancelled due to an hoil leak in the main engine of the "Bastø IV". The leakage was inside the ship, so the oil did not leak into the sea. the ferry remained sidelined in Moss for the time being. At the same time the "Bastø VI" encountered a problem connecting the propeller and had to stay at the quay in Horten. She returned to service at 3.30 p.m.
