Rygerfjell

On the morning Nov 7, 2024, the 'Rygerfjell' suffered technical problems in Vassøy. The ship was taken out of service and replaced by the ferry 'Rygerkongen' (IMO: 9359997) until further notice.  The departure from Vassøy at 08.10 a.m. is canceled due to the technical problems. The reserve ship made its first sailing from Stavanger at 09.45 a.m. and at 10.30 a.m. from Vassøy. After repairs, the 'Rygerfjell' was back in operation again for the departure at 12.45 p.m. from Stavanger.

The "Rygerfjell" damaged a pier and a private boathouse on Fogn suffered in an allision on Nov 3, 2014, half an hour past midnight when the ferry was going to dock. The "Rygerfjell" got a rope in the propeller and some cosmetic damage in the allision and was taken out of service until further notice. There seemed to have been a technical error which should be resolved during the day. The ferry route was back in normal operation at 9.30 p.m. after the ferry "Hjelmeland" was inserted on the route Fogn-Judaberg-Nedstrand-Jelsa.

The "Halsa" had to stay at the quay of Lerøy Hydrotech in Rensvikholmen due to technical difficulties on Sep 7, 2011. The service from Talgsjøen to Tømmervåg was taken over by the reserve ferry "Solskel" from at 6:30 on. After the defect was repaired the ferry resumed service at 09:30 a.m. Norwegian report with photo: http://www.tk.no/nyheter/article5725486.ece
