ONE OF THE FIRST SHIPS TO RESUME CRUISING IS HAVING A COVID OUTBREAK

One of the first cruise ships in the world to resume sailing since the coronavirus-caused worldwide halt to cruising in March is experiencing a significant outbreak of the illness that already has sent several people to the hospital.
Norwegian expedition cruise company Hurtigruten late Friday said four sick crew members from the 535-passenger Roald Amundsen were admitted to the University Hospital of North Norway in Tromsø, Norway, earlier in the day after the vessel docked in the city. All four had tested positive for COVID-19.
On Saturday, the line said another 32 crew members had tested positive for the illness.
The Roald Amundsen on Friday had just finished a seven-night sailing out of Tromsø to the Arctic’s wildlife-filled Svalbard archipelago.
All four of the hospitalized crew members had been sick for several days while on board the vessel, and all four had been placed in isolation. But the line said their symptoms weren’t consistent with COVID-19. They only tested positive for the illness after the ship docked in Tromsø early Friday.
It’s unclear if the crew members are seriously ill, or if they only are being hospitalized as a way to keep them isolated.
The entire ship has now been placed in isolation, and the 154 remaining crew members on board have all been tested for COVID-19. Hurtigruten on Saturday said 122 of the crew members had tested negative for the illness.
Hurtigruten on Saturday said it had contacted all 178 passengers who left the ship early Friday, and they had been ordered to self-quarantine in line with Norwegian health regulations.
The company also has contacted another 209 passengers who were aboard the previous sailing of the Roald Amundsen, and they have been told to self-quarantine, too.
The next voyage of the vessel, which had been scheduled to begin Friday, has been canceled.
Hurtigruten has been at the forefront of efforts to restart cruising in Europe in the wake of falling coronavirus case counts across the continent. The line started cruises to Norway out of Hamburg, Germany, in June with a single ship, the 530-passenger Fridtjof Nansen. It added cruises to Svalbard on the Roald Amundsen and the 335-passenger Spitsbergen in July.
The trips only have been open to local travelers from select European countries. No Americans have been on board the vessels.
“We are now focusing all available efforts in taking care of our guests and colleagues,” Hurtigruten spokesperson Rune Thomas Ege said in a statement posted Saturday at the line’s website. “We work closely with the Norwegian national and local health authorities for follow-up, information, further testing, and infection tracking.”
Hurtigruten had implemented a wide range of new health and safety measures on Roald Amundsen and the other ships it brought back into operation, including enhanced cleaning, added medical screenings for passengers and crew, and an end to buffets. All the vessels were operating at a sharply reduced capacity, below 50% of normal, to ensure social distancing.
The measures were similar to what many lines have been touting as the solution to keeping coronavirus off ships as cruising resumes.
The Roald Amundsen trips included Zodiac landings for wildlife sightseeing in the Svalbard archipelago as well as kayaking and other expedition-related activities.

Hurtigruten Reveals CO2 Savings Plans for Norwegian Coastal Fleet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 11, 2021
Norwegian passenger and expedition cruise ship operator Hurtigruten says it will make a significant investment in shipboard batteries, shore power, and biofuel in order to achieve a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions from its Norwegian coastal fleet.

As part of the investment, all seven ships in Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express’ fleet will undergo significant environmental upgrades by 2023. All seven of the ships are already installed with shore-power connectivity to eliminate emissions while in port. With the upgrades, three ships – MS Richard With, MS Nordlys, and MS Kong Harald – will undergo a full-fledged transformation to battery-hybrid power with the installation of new low-emission engines and large battery packs.

Across the seven ships, the upgrades will reduce CO2 emissions by 25% and cut NOx emissions by 80%, according to Hurtigruten.

“The world’s most beautiful voyage just got even better. We are combining the best available technical solutions and cutting CO2 emissions along the Norwegian coast with at least a quarter. And most importantly, we are laying the foundation for introducing new and even more efficient environmental solutions as they are developed,” said Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express CEO Hedda Felin.

The conversion of three ships mentioned above will be conducted in partnership with Kongsberg Maritime, who has partnered with Norway’s Myklebust yard for the first battery-hybrid upgrade.

“This is one of the largest environmental vessel upgrade projects that has been done in Europe. For us, it’s rewarding to work with a company which shares our ambitious approach to technology and environmental issues. The green upgrades of Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express’ ships represent a sustainable choice for their existing fleet,” said President Egil Haugsdal of Kongsberg Maritime.

Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express is part of Hurtigruten Group, the world’s leading adventure travel group, which also includes Hurtigruten Expeditions, the world’s largest expedition cruise line.

According to Hurtigruten, all seven Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express ships will also be certified to use biofuel as a fuel starting this summer. Hurtigruten Expeditions will also start trials with biofuel on selected ships and selected itineraries in 2021.

“Our goal is to operate all our ships and all our cruises completely emission-free. While we get one step closer day-by-day, we cannot sit idle and wait for the technology to be in place. We are working closely with our partners do drive change, move boundaries while we at the same time utilize the best solutions available already today,” said Hurtigruten Group CEO Daniel Skjeldam.

Hurtigruten Expeditions previously launched the world’s first battery-hybrid-powered cruise ships, MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof Nansen. Starting this spring, Hurtigruten Expeditions will begin the conversion of its MS Finnmarken to battery-hybrid power, renaming it MS Otto Sverdrup.

Voor een schip dat het grootste gedeelte van haar bestaan door polair water en dito omstandigheden heeft geploeterd, heeft ze nog een mooie oude dag gehad in tropische omstandigheden....
Ze ligt er nu lekker warmpjes bij...
Oost, west...ook best

Bij deze TERAKA moet ik denken aan een coastertje, de AONIU, die in 1958 bij de scheepswerf Gebr. Niestern in Delfzijl was gebouwd
voor de regering van het eiland Tonga voor o.a. copra vervoer. Ook in dezelfde regio als de TERAKA.

Hurtigruten Coastal Ship Loses Power Off Norway coast
August 25, 2021
A Hurtigruten coastal cruise ship lost propulsion power traveling along a notoriously difficult portion of the Norwegian coastline last evening, prompting a search and rescue response from Norwegian maritime authorities, fishing vessels, and an OSV in the area. After drifting and later anchoring, the cruise ship was able to recover, but the Norwegian authorities are investigating the incident.

It began shortly before 9:00 p.m. August 24 when the 11,200 gross ton Kong Harald issued a distress call reporting that it had lost propulsion power and was drifting toward the coast. At the time the vessel was in an area known as Hustadvika traveling southbound from Kristiansund to Molde. It was the same area where in 2019 another cruise ship, the Viking Sky, also suffered a power failure and numerous passengers were injured while the vessel was tossed in heavy seas before a rescue could be affected.

The Kong Harald was carrying 236 passengers along with 70 crew. Several passengers reported to the local media seeing black smoke before the ship went quiet, which was their first indication of a problem. Seas were reported to be very rough with poor visibility and a stiff gale.
The Norwegian Maritime Directorate today was full of praise for the captain and crew along with the SAR teams for their response. With no propulsion power, the captain used the vessel’s thrusters to maneuver it into a safer position to await assistance and they were eventually able to anchor.
The SAR operation was complicated by the difficult weather. Four helicopters were dispatched as well as five vessels from the Norwegian coastguard. Adding to the drama another rescue vessel, the Oyvon, carrying a crew of four grounded, damaging its keel and requiring its own rescue.
After about 45 minutes, the Kong Harald reported that it had been able to restart one of its main engines. The passenger ship was able to proceed to Molde escorted by the OSV KL Saltfjord, which had also offered to provide towing assistance if needed. The Kong Harald spent the night on the dock in Molde and earlier today inspectors from the Norwegian Maritime Directorate boarded the ship and pieced together the events leading up to the power failure.

Before the Kong Harald departed Kristiansund earlier in the evening, engineers discovered a leak in the port main engine’s cooling water system and took the engine offline for repairs. The repairs took longer than expected. Operating on its starboard main engine, after 8:00 p.m. an alarm sounded for high exhaust temperatures on the starboard main engine, and efforts to reduce the torque were not successful. At 8:39 p.m. the starboard main engine shut down leaving the Kong Harald with no propulsion power. Investigators determined today that the problem was caused by a worn control arm in the fuel system.

The Norwegian Maritime Directorate reported that the worn part has been replaced today in both engines and they then tested the ship.
DNV as the vessel’s class society also attended and the Kong Harald was certified and resumed its voyage on the afternoon on August 25.
Among the questions that the Norwegian authorities want to investigate were the maintenance routines and why the worn part was not detected before failure. They are also investigating the risk assessments and the process taken before the departure from Kristiansund especially in light of having one motor offline for repairs. In 2020, Hurtigruten’s risk assessment process was also criticized in the investigations after the COVID-19 outbreak aboard one of its expedition cruise ships. The Norwegian Maritime Directorate also said it would hand over its findings to Norway’s Accident Investigation Board.
