Ferry sidelined due to technical trouble
On May 30, 2017, at 1.20 p.m. the "Ryfylke" encountered technical trouble in Stavanger and was sidelined for repairs. Norled replaced the ferry with a fast boat and the "Gloppen" on the route between Stavanger and Tau in the afternoon. The ferry returned to normal operation with the departure from Stavanger to Tau at 4.40 p.m. after the technical issues were resolved. Already last week, the gas ferry had to be taken out of operation after problems with the control system on one engine. Now it was the other engine which had a signal error so specialists checked the control system.
Tau ferry towed to shore
In the morning of Oct 2, 2015, the "Ryfylke" suffered propulsion problems and had to be taken in tow by a tug. The ferry had passed Lindøy Sound when it got into trouble and was oulled back to Stavanger with the passengers on board. At 10 a.m. a replacement ferry was inserted, but the Tau ferry service was operating at a reduced capacity until further notice.
