No. 609 Søn/Sun Jan 9, 2000
| Og der står den visst godt. For når den ikke
er blitt skylt av skjæret i stormene de siste par ukene, blir den
vel stående som turistattraksjon til sommeren.
Det var 26 desember at "Hedlo", på vei nordover med en 900 tonns stållast, ble offer for storm og spesiellt høy springflo. Den kjørte seg godt opp på skjærene,og ble stående nesten på tørt land like sør for Urter. Mannskapet ble raskt reddet ut med helikopter, men båten - den sto godt. Riktignok har den snudd seg på skjæret. Dette sier egentlig mye om hvilke krefter havet råder over. Båten har vært bordet, og viste seg svært skadet. Dermed er det ikke aktuellt å prøve å bringe den flott. I ettertid er båten tømt for drivstoff og miljøfarlige stoffer. Nå diskuteres opphugning på stedet, mens man vel egentlig håper den blir feid av skjæret og synker. Bildet over et tatt fra Vardafjell. Derfra var jeg i stand til å se båten med kikkert , men fotoutstyret var for begrenset på den lange avstanden. Fra Vardafjellet peilet jeg meg inn på Kalstø som det nærmeste punkt i forhold til båten, og kjørte dit. Men selv der var det langt ut. Vi kan imidlertid skimte båten på noen av bildene jeg tok etter å ha "våget livet" i svært ulendt og opprevet terreng. Og så ble det et par andre motlys-blinkskudd fra Kalstø i tillegg. English:
Dec. 26 1999 "Hedlo" was on it's way northwards with a cargo of 900 ton's of steel, when a rough storm and very high tide made it possible to get stuck on almost dry land just south of the island Urter. The crew was saved by a rescue helicopter, but would have been safe if they stayed on board. The ship is still there, and even if the continuous large waves have been able to turn it 45 degrees on the rock, it seems stable. Inspectors have been on board, and report serious damage in the bottom of the ship. It will not be possible to save it. Now plans for removing it bit by bit is beeing discussed. But, as all fuel and oil has been removed, they hope it will be swept off the rock by a huge wave, and sink to the bottom (at no cost!). The picture above was shot from Vardafjell. In my binocular I was able to se the ship, but the photo equipment was not good enough for the distance. I observed that Kalstø on western Karmøy was the closest point, and almost "risked my life" in the very rough and rocky coast countryside on getting to a point as close to "Hedlo" as possible. Even from there, the ship was difficult to observe because of the distance. I have some pictures, and a couple of good other shots from the Kalstø coast area. Avstandsbilde (stort)
