The "Nordørn" with a crew of 16 on board, reported engine failure at Hustadvika in the night of Sep 23, 2016, while enroute to Ålesund. The trawler drifted without engine power in the sea off Bud and Farstad, and the JRCC requested the Hurtigruten ferry "Richard With" which was enroute from Kristiansund to Molde to assist at 8 p.m. The Ferry turned around and went on stanby until the situation was under control and a lifeboat on scene. The "Erik Bye" reached the trawler at 9.25 p.m. and started to tow the casualty southwards in order to meet the "Idar Ulstein" off Sandøya to take over the tow. There were gale force winds at Hustadvika when the engine failed. Norwegian report with photo: http://www.rbnett.no/nyheter/2016/09/23/Redningsaksjon-p%C3%A5-Hustadvika-13486499.ece

In the morning of June 12, 2015, the Norwegian trawler "Nordørn" suffered an engine breakdown approximately 75 nautical miles south of Bear Island. The Coastguard vessel "Barentshav" was about five hours from the Trawler and immediately set course towards the casualty. A towing wire was fixed at 5.15 p.m., and in the morning of June 13 the convoy was approximately 135 nautical miles from Norwegian coast. The "Barentshav" reduced speed so low pressure system with strong southwest winds could pass before the ships reached the coastal waters.
