A serious incident occurred on the Havila Polaris, a coastal cruise ship, prompting the evacuation of over 400 passengers and crew.

The ship experienced overheating in its propulsion system while en route to Geiranger, leading to an emergency stop at Stranda.

Fortunately, all passengers were safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported.

Health personnel assessed two crew members for potential smoke inhalation.

The ship's management confirmed that the situation was under control, and a temporary reception center was established for passengers at the local cultural center.

The ferry service between Stranda and Liabygda has been suspended due to the ship's presence at the dock, while investigations into the cause of the overheating are underway.
