A 440-foot-long cargo ship apparently failed to make its turn after entering Trondheim fjord, ending up in the garden of a water-front resident, but incredibly beached without waking the sleeping householder.
The NCL Salten, a Norwegian-operated container ship capable of carrying 886 twenty foot containers (or the equivalent thereof) ran aground in the early hours of Thursday morning after it had entered the Trondheim fjord. The ship had sailed from Averøy on Bremsnesfjorden on Norway’s Atlantic coast the previous day on coastal trade.
The Salten may be relatively small by container ship standards — the largest carry the equivalent of over 24,000 twenty foot containers — but it dwarfed its new neighbour after coming to rest on the shore. After failing to make its turn, and Norwegian police say they are investigating whether this was technical malfunction or human error, the ship ended up directly alongside a small water-front home.
There are no reported deaths, injuries, or environmental spills related to the grounding. The crew is reported to consist of Norwegian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, and Russian seamen. The Daily Mail states: “It is understood the same vessel has run aground three times previously within the last three years.”
