Lasteskip sank til bunns – planlegger heving

At 1:30 p.m. on Friday afternoon, police reported that a cargo ship carrying stone had capsized. It was at the quay in Hendvågen in Averøy.
Two of the crew had to jump overboard and swam to shore. Five others made it ashore.

On Friday, Knut Lasse Torhus, CEO of Torhus Shipping, which owns the ship, said that there was water in the hold and that the ship was at the bottom. He hoped they would be able to salvage the boat. He had no idea what caused the capsizeing.

On Monday, Torhus told NRK that the boat must be unloaded before the lifting can begin, and that he does not believe it can happen in the next few days.
