Cargo Ship Runs Aground in Norwegian Garden, Narrowly Avoids Home
- A Cypriot-flagged container ship named NCL Salten ran aground near Johan Helberg's house in Byneset, Trondheim, on Thursday morning around 5am local time.
- The 135-meter-long ship went off course while traveling southwest through Trondheim Fjord to Orkanger, with the exact cause of the grounding still under investigation by Norwegian police.
- Mr. Helberg was asleep during the incident and only woke after a neighbor repeatedly rang his doorbell to check on him, as the 16 crew members aboard were unharmed and no oil spills occurred.
- Mr. Helberg described the ship as a 'very bulky new neighbour' missing his home by meters and said, "I had to bend my neck to see the top of it," while NCL's managing director said they were grateful no one was injured and awaited investigation results.
- Authorities plan to refloat the ship at high tide, and the incident highlights the need for further review of maritime navigation safety in the area.
