Hurtigruten - Nordlys - Svolvær

The MS Nordlys arriving in Svolvær on the Lofoten in Norway.
When the ship opens his gangway there seems to be a defect.
Oil is dripping out the gangway and it won't move anymore.
They try to fix it and at 22.39 the gangway was fixed!
And under applause it went up again.
Normally the ship had to depart at 22.00 but had a 40 minutes delay.

Now that’s a boat! Can you imagine how big his truck must be to pull that thing?

I visited Norway three years ago and stayed part of the time in Alesund at the Radisson Blue hotel just next to the Hurtigruten dock,. During that time I saw about 6 of the Hurtigruten ships as they stopped briefly. Just so happened that the first I saw actually arrive was the Nordlys. The day before, when I arrived, I saw the Polarlys already docked.
I told my daughter of the fire on the Nordlys that occurred in September of 2011 that nearly caused it to capsize.... right outside the hotel ! I have developed a fondness for the red, black and white fleet. I wish someone would produce a moderately large scale model of one of them......
