Basen

On May 30, 2025, the ' Basen' was taken in tow by the tug 'Amazon' (IMO: 5377159) to be broken up at the Fosen Gjenvinning company in Stokksund, Trøndelag.

The 'Basen', which had been in collision with a 17-ft-pleasure boat off Rosendal on June 25, 2024, is still at the quay in Leirvik as of Feb 11, 2025. After the accident, the vessel received 27 serious orders from the Norwegian Maritime Directorate which was well above normal. The ship has since been released, but it does not have certificates to sail. The shipping company has not requested a 5-year renewal, and therefore has not maintained its shipping certificate. according to the Norwegian Maritime Directorate. Now the owner company Sealg, based in Førde, has gone bankrupt. The company had 16 employees and two older cargo ships, besides the "Basen" the Vestfrakt.. It was one of the company's employees who filed for bankruptcy against his own employer. The bankruptcy petition states that the bankruptcy was the result of a claim of 134,000 Norwegian crowns. On the same day that the bankruptcy petition was submitted, Sealg tried to file bankruptcy itself (commissioning), but they were not allowed to do so due to the bankruptcy claim. The bankruptcy petition will be filed in Sogn og Fjordane District Court in early March. Report with photo: https://www.nrk.no/vestland/kollisjon-mellom-fritidsbat-og-lastebat-i-rosendal-1.16940320
