MV Hellutangi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MV Helluntangi was a general cargo ship under the Antigua and Barbuda flag. According to the vessel tracking service provider, VesselFinder, the ship has a summer deadweight of 2,798 tonnes, an overall length of 79 meters, and a beam of 12 meters. It was beached by a storm in Faroe Islands waters, and was discovered on Vagar island on April 6, 2021. The crew were all evacuated and reported safe.[1] The evacuation was executed using an AugustaWestland AW101 helicopter.[2][3] An AQS Tor boat which was on the Hellutangi fell off and suffered damage.[4]

The ship was commissioned in 1986 by Gebroeders Buys - Krimpen a/d Yssel. In 2019, the vessel was completely rebuilt and outfitted with a feeding barge designated for fish farms by Poltramp Yard S.A. in Świnoujście, Poland.[5] The ship was used as a fish farm support vessel with a homeport in Miðvágur. The owner was P/F Luna in Sandavágur.[6]
