Norway: Maritime Partner’s Boat Saves Container Ship

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.
