The Ferry compnay was working hard to get the ferry back on track, Færøyvik at 6.30 p.m. stated that a part had to be replaced and it remained unclear when the "Lifjord" would resume its service, leaving the Lavik-Oppedal route with two ferries until further notice.

Replacement ferry kept in reserve at Easter in spite of repair
