Lifeboat took ferry in tow
Passengers between Sømna and Bindal had to wait up to 14 hours after the "Lysingen" suffered engine failure on Sep 14, 2012. Just before the vessel was to berth at the wharf at Holm it lost all power. The crew had to drop anchor to avoid an allision. The reserve ferry "Bognes" was could not be inserted because the "Lysingen" blocked the ferry landing for 12 days hours. The lifeboat "Harald V" from Rørvik took the vessel in tow in the foremidday hours, later the lifeboat "Skuld" pulled it to Brønnøysund where an investigation was started.
