Grounding south of Kalvåg

Enroute from Aalesund to Husnes the "Samba" ran onto a shallow between Hovden and Gåsøy in Bremanger on Dec 8, 2014. The lifeboat “Halfdan Grieg” and a tug went to assist the ship which was stuck south of Kalvåg with a crew of 16 on board and had suffered water ingress in the foreship which was quickly under control. The ship was, however, able to pull off with own means and headed to Florø where it berthed at 10.20 p.m. The ship left the Fjord Base in Florø on Dec 11 at 12.50 a.m. again and headed for Rotterdam with an ETA of Dec 13, 4 p.m.
