Workboat ran aground

The 'Frøy Lys' ran aground in Hitra-Frøya in pos. 63° 38' N 008° 40' E on Jan 8, 2025, at 09.30 a.m. with two crew members on board. An NSSR lifeboat was on site. Several other ships from the owner company Frøy have moved out to assist. The crew was safe, and there was no danger to them. The company was working to get an overview. The salvage of the workboat has already started with the help of the own vessels. On scene were the 'Frøy Supplier' (MMSI: 259027820), 'Frøy Loke' (MMSI: 258023280), 'Tamina Spirit' (MMSI: 259000200) and the lifeboat 'Horn Flyer ' (MMSI: 258235500), of the NSSR station. A water ingress in the bildge could be limited with filler and margarine. The hull has a hole in the foreship at starboard side. Five bilge pumps were in operation. At 2.50 p.m. the ship was refloated and taken to the Jektvik Slipp & Mek Verksted AS in Dolmøy, where it was safely berthed at 4.30 p.m. UTC.
