Ferry grounded in Drag
On July 27, 2021, the 'Vardehorn', en route from Kjøpsvik, ran aground at the ferry berth on Drag in the Hamarøy municipality with 41 passengers and eight crew members on board. The police have been notified by the Main Rescue Center about the incident and have conducted an interrogation of the master. A technical failure of the steering gear was thought to have been the cause of the accident. An NSSR lifeboat was called with divers to examine the hull. It was expected on scene around 1 p.m. With a suitable tide and tug assistance the ferry was then to be pulled out again. The passengers remained safe on board.
