Its now two ships in distress, both with failed engines during bad sea state west of Norway, near the coast in the dangerous waters around Kristiansund.
First, the Viking Sky declared an emergency when its engine failed. Its a cruise ship with 1300 passengers, they already started to evacuate the passengers by helicopter.
Then, a few hours later, the Hagland Captain also suffered an engine failure while trying to help the Viking Sky. The coast guard now diverted two helicopters to the Hagland Captain to rescue the crew of the freighter.
The westerly winds are currently causing huge waves there.
