A yellow weather warning has been issued for parts of Eastern Norway as Storm Lillian approaches, bringing strong winds and potential chaos.

In Larvik, a harbor crane threatened to topple onto the Superspeed ferry, prompting an evacuation.

The ferry has since left the dock safely, and efforts are underway to stabilize the crane.

Meanwhile, ferry services between Moss and Horten have been suspended due to the storm.
