Smell of smoke on ferry off Frekhaug

On the morning of Nov 8, 2024, the fire service was called to Frekhaug in Alver after smoke and a burning smell were reported on the Norwegian flagged fast ferry 'Fjordkatt', 226 gt (IMO: 9380790)when it approached the quay in Frekhaug. Fire and police at the site could not find where the smell was coming from. It must have been an electrical fault. There were 35 passengers on board the vessel. There have been no reports of injuries. Most of the passengers were to get off at Frekhaug, while those going on were transported by bus. The crew on board have called in an electrician to find out the cause of the fault. The Nordhordland route, which runs between Knarvik, Frekhaug and Bergen, has been canceled until further notice.

Fender broke through window

A window of the "Fjordkatt" was crushed when the ferry docked in Knarvik in the afternoon of Apr 29, 2015. A Fender at the quay broke into the window of the lounge and cracked it. Fortunately there was no one in the seats where the glass split. The ship could continue its service, before the window was replaced.
