Freighter Pioneer Bay was Friday afternoon, a few meters away from going aground at The Sund inserts outer Vågsfjorden, Norway.

After over a hundred meters long ship engine failed threw the crew out anchors that prevented the ship ran aground.

Eventually, the crew got assistance from the rescue skiff Simrad Buholmen that got towed Pioneer Bay from the murky waters.
