Ferry suffered main engine issue

The 'Hanøy', which operates the high-speed ferry route in Hadsel, had to cancel all departures until further notice on March 16 at 3 p.m. and sidelined in Stokmarknes for repairs. The cause was a technical fault with the engine. About a month ago, the 'Hanøy' had its engine replaced at a shipyard in Svolvær, after previous technical challenges with the main engine. This led to both a bus for the boat and the acquisition of reserve vessels on the route.

Damaged engine replaced

The 'Hanøy' has had its engine replaced and, following a final inspection at the end of the repair works at the shipyard in Svolvær, shifted to Stokmarknes on Feb 24. The ship was ready for regular operation on the Hasel route again, starting with the departure from the port of Stokmarknes on Feb 25 at 06:05 a.m. The ferry 'Ingøy' sailed ahead to Hammerfest.

Engine to be exchanged in Svolvær

After the engine breakdown, the 'Hanøy' has been sent to a repair yard in Svolvær on Feb 19 for an engine replacement. The operator worked to get spare parts on the route, but was unable to get a replacement ship inserted on Feb 20. On Feb 21, the ferry 'Kjerringøy' operates a scheduled service between Kaljord and the islands with departures at 10:00 a.m. from Brottøy, at 10:15 a.m. from Lonkan, at 10:45 a.m. from Kaljord, at 11:00 a.m. from Lonkan, at 11:15 a.m. from Brottøy and 11:45 a.m. from Hanøy. Furthermore, the 'Ingøy', which is a car-carrying express boat, will be in place during the weekend of Feb 22/23.
