Cargo Ship Runs Aground in Norwegian Garden, Narrowly Avoids Home

A 135-meter container ship named NCL Salten ran aground near Johan Helberg's cabin on Trondheim Fjord early Thursday morning.
The incident occurred after the helmsman, likely asleep, failed to steer correctly as the ship approached the shore near Byneset.
Neighbors awoke around 5 a.m. Due to the sound of the ship approaching, with the vessel ending up about eight meters from Helberg's house wall.
Helberg said the ship missed his house by a few meters, and no injuries or oil leaks have been reported despite salvage efforts to refloat it failing.
NCL's managing director described the grounding as a significant event, expressed relief that no one was hurt, and stated the company is cooperating with authorities while awaiting the results of the ongoing investigation.
