A Bahamas-flagged Norwegian cruise ship with 206 passengers and crew has run aground in northwestern Greenland
, authorities said Tuesday, adding that no one on board was in danger and no damage has been reported.
“Our units are far away, and the weather can be very unfavorable,” said Cmdr. Brian Jensen of the Joint Arctic Command. The closest Danish navy ship was about 1.200 nautical miles away, he said, adding it was heading to the site and could be expected at the grounded ship as soon as Friday. Jensen said in a statement there is no immediate danger to human life or the environment, but that officials “take this incident very seriously.”The 104.4-meter long and 18-meter wide ship ran aground on Monday in Alpefjord in the Northeast Greenland National Park.
The grounded cruise ship might also get free on its own when the tide is high, Greenland television KNR reported. “Regardless, the most important thing for us is that everyone gets to safety,” Jensen said. The primary mission of the Joint Arctic Command is to ensure Danish sovereignty by monitoring the area around the Faeroe Islands and Greenland, two semi-independent territories that are part of the Danish realm.
