Cargo ship towed away from Norway home it nearly struck
A cargo ship that ran aground in a Norwegian fiord and narrowly missed a house was pulled back into open water and was being towed to a nearby harbour on Tuesday — five days after the spectacular accident. A tugboat hauled and refloated the NCL Salten off the shore of the Trondheim Fiord on Tuesday morning. The ship was pulled away from the spot where it ran aground in Byneset at about 10:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday, according to a statement that NCL, the shipping company, posted online. The vessel was being taken to the nearby harbour of Orkanger. Norwegian broadcaster NRK quoted Ole T. Bjørnevik, the general manager of the tugboat company tasked with the refloating operation, as saying that it "went better than expected."

"I doubt I'll ever experience anything quite like this again," he told Norway's TV2. "I wouldn't have traded this experience for anything."
