The Administration\u2019s decision to renew its agreement with Miko was reinforced by several incidents where Miko patches prevented the loss of vessels in Norwegian waters, including following a collision between two trawlers in the Arctic north of Norway.<\/p>\n
The Hundv\u00e5k\u00f8y<\/i> was returning to port when it struck the Hordafor 4<\/i> and sustained major hull damage. The engine room flooded but the master successfully grounded his boat to prevent the total loss of the vessel and its cargo.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian Coastal Administration immediately sealed the large hole in the hull with a Miko magnetic patch. Both of the Coastal Administration vessels attending the incident were carrying a Miko Salvage Kit which also included a six by two metre \u201chat shaped\u201d fabric patch which was also used to cover irregular protruding damage that would otherwise inhibit the adhesion of a magnetic patch. As a result virtually all of the boat\u2019s catch was saved and the engine room was pumped dry. This enabled the Hundv\u00e5k\u00f8y <\/i>to be refloated and towed some 15 nm to the NATO quay at S\u00f8rreisa for more permanent repairs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
