RS Simrad Buholmen, one of NSSR rescue boats, did an amazing job by preventing the much larger container ship “Pioneer Bay” to run aground.
A container ship with 12 crew on board was only 20 meters from the grounding of Vågsfjorden in Sogn and Fjordane on Friday.
Simrad Buholmen , the smallest of the rescue boats, was the savior of over a hundred meters long, Pioneer Bay, which drove slowly towards the shore.
Maritime Partner was proud to see that MP-1211 RS was capable of handling a job of this stature.
Maritime Partner was founded in 1994. In 1999 company acquired the well-known brands Alusafe, Seabear and Weedo, continuing the tradition of these fine boats. In 2000 Maritime Partner consolidated and coordinated its range, supplying 50 boats of different types.
