The
ship was on it's way from Sweeden to Holland with 2100 tons of
timber, when a heavy storm blow into the area. The ship got into
troubles, about 40NM from the danish westcoast, when the machine
stoped and the seawater was getting inside!
15
meter high waves and floating timber made it very difficult and
dangerous to rescue the crew at 7 men. 2 helicopters and the danish
Inspection-ship "Vestkysten" was involved in
this action. A rescuer (Ole Stie Olesen) on the Inspection-ship
died by the event, but all other was saved!
