Local passengers and crews were evacuated from a cruise ship that crossed the west coast of Norway yesterday (Saturday), reports Reuters and Associated Press.
'Viking Sky' caused the engine to malfunction in strong winds and waves.
This cruise ship sent a rescue signal to a rescue team while drifting.
Passengers and crews are being taken to a nearby village on a rescue helicopter from a cruise ship deck.
A rescue spokesman said, "It will take a long time to evacuate everyone."
Two rescue vessels were sent to cruise Viking Sky to help with rescue operations, but came back in the middle due to weather conditions.
The digs on the site are 6 ~ 8m, and the speed per minute is 24m.
Fortunately, one of the engines is back on line, and Viking Sky is anchored to the coast, 2 kilometers from the mainland.
The rescue authorities mobilize the rescue capabilities of neighboring areas.
More than 60 volunteers were put into the Red Cross.
Viking Sky was built in 2017 and was delivered to the cruise ship 'Viking Ocean Cruise'.
The garden is 930 passengers and 550 crew.
