Trawler disabled in Barents Sea

On Nov 8, 2017, the "Õrfirisey - Re 4" was pulled into the port of Svolvær after having encountered problems with the propeller while fishing cod in the Barents Sea. As there was no docking space in Kirkenes, the ship was initially towed to Harstad by a tug, but on the way it was redirected to Svolvær. The trawler was drydocked at the Skarvik yard in Osan for surveys.
