The "Sapphire 2" which was under arrest in Tromsø four months ago, had to be saved by the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel "Svalbard" on Feb 10, 2012.

On the night of Feb 9 the "Svalbard" was called from the Russian trawler 14 nautical miles northeast of Bjørnøya.

The trawler's propeller had got fouled by ropes and a hose during the transfer of a bunker hose from a tank vessel.

The ship had to be towed to shore. The tow was taken up by the "Svalbard" in the morning of Feb 9 towards the Fugløyfjorden in North Tromsø , which was a distance of 250 nautical miles, in challenging conditions.

In the night of Feb 10, the wind increased to hurricane force from SW with more powerful storms approaching. After the ship was finally anchored in Tromsø, divers started to remove the obstructions.
