While attempting to leave port on Saturday, the bulk carrier Cyprus Cement encountered some sort of propulsion issue and ends up tearing through a Norwegian marina, causing serious damage.
The incident occurred at Levanger Marina in Trondheimsfjorden.
It seems more than likely that it was the tugboat that suffered the propulsion problem that led to this incident. Note that tugboat’s lines were slack during the entire ordeal.
