Norwegian owner Ostensjo Rederi has told how it sent the first tug to the scene of the stranded cruiseship Viking Sky in a storm off Norway on Saturday.
The 48,000-gt Viking Ocean Cruises vessel (built 2017) was carrying more than 1,300 passengers when it got into difficulty off the west coast.
Ostensjo said its 500-gt tug Vivax (built 2008) was in port at Nautneset following a tanker call at the gas terminal at Nyhamna.
