Delays due to cylinder damage

In the morning of March 27, 2017, ferry operator Fjord1 notified about delays and problems with transporting larger vehicles between Molde and Vestnes because the "Fannfjord" suffered a cylinder damage so that she could only be loaded and unload over one end. The situation arose in the night. As a result, the ferry was taken out of the schedule to replace the cylinder. During the trip from Vestnes at 7:30 a.m. she only took small vehicles on board, because the cars had to reverse ashore.
