Havila Kystruten AS: Havila Pollux Cancels Upcoming Round Trip

Havila Pollux has been docked in Bergen since May 2nd for planned warranty work,

after an electro motor supplying power to the propulsion system had to be

replaced. In recent days, testing of the new electro motor has been conducted,

during which a malfunction was discovered in a bearing in the underwater housing

of one of the propellers (azimuth POD).

Sailing the ship in service with this malfunction is not deemed safe, and the

newly discovered issue must be rectified. Consequently, Havila Pollux will sail

to GMC in Stavanger to be placed in dry-dock for the replacement of the

propeller's underwater housing. This replacement is also considered warranty

work.

As a result, the upcoming round trip departing from Bergen on May 13th will be

cancelled. Considering the necessary preparations by the Norwegian equipment

supplier and the replacement of the underwater housing, it is expected that

Havila Pollux will resume its regular service from Bergen no later than May

24th.

All affected passengers will be contacted by Havila Kystruten.
