COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
Interesting shot.
The journey to Greenland did not go according to plan.
On Sep. 17. 2006 the vessel had engine trouble in bad weather south of Greenland and had to call for assistance. She was towed by Hvidbjørnen, and later Agpa to Qaqortoq, where they arrived on Monday Sep. 18.

Thanks for the info.
The ship have never been in those waters before, so hopefully the fishing will be more succesfull, than the arrival to the area.
A few years ago the vessel also needed to be towed, because it lost the rudder in the waters around the Faroe Islands.
The last years the trawler have mainly fished in Norwegian waters and in your area.. :-)
Regards
Ole.. :-)
