The 'Svanoy', en route between Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive and L?Isle-aux-Coudres,, suffered damage during the approaching maneuver at the L'Isle-aux-Coudres wharf on Oct 27 ,2022, at 9.45 p.m. The cause of the incident and the severity of the damage to the vessel was under investigation. An emergency plan was drawn up by the Societe des Traversiers du Quebec (STQ), which included the emergency helicopter service and the requisition of the ferry 'Lomer Gouin' (IMO: 7109221) that normally serves the crossing between Levis and Quebec City.

The "Svanøy" was troubled on the enroute from Halsa to Kanestraum on March 12, 2019, at 11.50 a.m. The ship had suffered a technical failure on the propulsion system on the way to the quay in Halsafjorden. It had to anchor on the Halsa side, and black smoke emerged from the exhaust of the ferry. Fjord1 canceled its departures from Halsa at 1 p.m. and Kanestraum at 1.30 p.m. Another ferry, the Rauma", came to assist and took the casualty in tow after the smoke subsided. The cars aboard the "Svanøy" could leave the ship at 1.30 p.m. Norwegian report with photo: https://www.tk.no/nyheter/halsa/ferge/fergeproblemer-pa-halsafjorden-svanoy-har-kastet-anker-og-det-ryker/s/5-51-612027
