I think this abomination was featured in a post not long ago but I can’t find it so pardon the new topic about it. " According to the _Fay’s_ captain, Ken-Åke Grahn, the ship lost auxiliary generator power off Honningsvåg. Without power for the _Fay’s_ hydraulics, the crew could not fully secure a leaking hatch, and the vessel gradually flooded. “Then we just had to leave the boat,” Grahn told Radio Nordkapp." No manual backup pump?
