Trawler disabled off Maniitsoq

Just three weeks after the "Regina C", which had sailed from Sisimut on March 21, 2017, had a major machine overhaul, a bolt of crankshaft broke off Maniitsoq and the trawler had to call the trawler "Svend C" in order to take it in tow to Nuuk. In the late afternoon of March 29 tugs assisted to dock the ship in Nuuk. The same day fitters from Iceland went on board, and a new bolt was on its way. It was expected that the trawler would be ready to sail again on Apr 3. Danish report with photo: http://sermitsiaq.ag/rejetrawler-ramt-alvorlig-maskinskade-aabent-hav
