Veoy

On Mar 8, 2012, the "Veøy" had to drop anchor after sailing from Tømmervåg at. 13.30 because of strong wind. The anchor got geared up with a small boat mooring with several boats when the ferry backed out, and pulled out about 200-300 metres. The ferry proceeded to a position at Feta, just off the timber harbor in Trout. There the mess was cleared up by divers of the lifeboat "Erik Bye", and the lifeboat remained on standby until the ferry finally sailed between 4 and 5 p.m. after the wind calmed down. The moorings and boats did not suffer major damage. Norwegian report with photo: http://www.demokraten.no/innenriks/article5964631.ece
