Published 2021-04-06
Dutch general cargo ship Eemslift Hendrika issued distress signal in the morning Apr 5 in Norwegian sea 60 nm west of Olesund, Norway. Reportedly, the ship developed a heavy list after cargo shift. According to local media, 8 crew out of 12 were already evacuated, understood by helicopter. Salvage ships or tugs under way. 4 crew remained on board attempting to salvage the ship.
Apr 5 1730 UPDATE: The ship continues to hold on against strong wind and seas, moving in northwest direction, with 4 crew still on board, heroically doing what they can to save her from capsizing. The ship with cargo of boats on upper deck is en route from Bremerhaven to Kolvereid Norway, it is these boats which shift and caused heavy list. Nearest to Eemslift Hendrika ship, fv Veststeinen, is sailing nearby, to assist or save remaining 4 crew, if things come to worst. Let’s hope it won’t come to that, and brave four seamen will manage to save the ship by keeping her against rough seas until weather calms down and SAR ship arrives.

That fistbump at the end was epic. Everyone from the pilot, the divers, the winch operators, to the men who latched the cable, INSANLY AWESOME and I'm excited. I'm going to helicopter school next week. This Is a great reason to stick it out

I don't know what's more impressive: those waves, or the stellar job the crew did lashing those massive boats down on the deck.

Before I left Norway and the town of Florø, where this rescue operation was controlled from, with 2 helicopters. I have seen them fly out on more extreme weather than this, and even in the dark. But the helicopters have the most advanced equipment, also for flying in heavy weather and in totally darkness. The rescue base was new in 2009, and since then these guys why fly helicopters have saved a lot of lives. Not just out in the sea, but also many foreigners who don't know the danger of the mountains. But foreigners who have lived in the area some years, they have learned on every tour up in the mountains. And they have also saved several of these who base-jump from mountains, and parachutes into mountain walls and gets stuck there. Those who jump from illegal places get a huge bill after a rescue operation who never should have happened!

According to the Norwegian Maritime Authority, one of the cranes on board the Eemslift Hendrika was damaged after one of the workboats on deck fell from the ship. Losing this green workboat, however, improved vessel stability and reduced the risk of the Eemslift Hendrika capsizing. She made it to safe harbour on April 9, 2021 or thereabouts - brave, resourceful sailors and airmen.
