The ship's crew of 16 was lucky to avoid injury as it veered off course and crashed into the yard of local resident Johan Helberg. Helberg recounted the startling moment he spotted the ship outside his window and how close it came to his home. "It was so unreal," he said, emphasizing the vessel's proximity to his bedroom. Local media also reported that the steering officer failed to change course while entering the fjord. Investigations are underway to determine if the crew adhered to maritime rest and work hour regulations.

NCL, the logistics company that chartered the ship, has classified the incident as "serious" and is cooperating with authorities during the salvage operation. Meanwhile, residents were shaken by the incident. Bard Jorgensen, a neighbor, described the scene as "terrifying" when he witnessed the ship approaching. Fortunately, despite the chaos, no one was injured, and recovery efforts are ongoing as police delve into the circumstances surrounding the grounding.
