Crew airlifted from troubled cargo vessel EEMSLIFT HENDRIKA

All 12 crew members of the heavy-lift vessel Eemslift Hendrika were evacuated by the Norwegian coast guard after their ship started listing west of Ålesund, Norway.

The Dutch-flagged ship, built in 2015, is managed by Amasus Support BV.

The cargo vessel’s crew sent a distress signal on a Monday morning after the cargo started shifting causing the ship to list 30 degrees. The 4,200 dwt vessel got caught in stormy weather battling high waves and strong winds.

Several boats and yachts are loaded onto the vessel which was underway from Bremerhaven, Germany to Kolvereid, Norway, according to the data from MarineTraffic.
