At 21:08, Kystradio Nord received a May message on Sea Channel 16, stating that they were sinking in the Ballstad area, writes Hovedredningsselskapet Nord-Norge on Twitter.
– They said mayday, they said Ballstad, and they said ‘the ship is sinking’. Since then we have not heard from them. The Coast Guard has requested the ship and we are getting no response. We only have one call. No emergency beacon has appeared, so we don’t have anything to go in that direction either says duty officer Frode Iversen at the Avisa Nordland Main Rescue Center.
However, he emphasizes that for the moment they consider it a true distress signal.
According to Lofotenposten, there is a cool breeze from the southeast in the area. Tonight it will rise to a slight gale.
The case is being updated.
