On Jan 8, 2017, the lifeboat "Skuld" was called to the "Nidarø" which was drifting towards the shore north of the island Aldra outside of Mo in Rana. The ship with a crew of five on board had suffered engine failure in the Stigfjord in the Lurøy municipality enroute from Bodø to Tomma. Bodø radio relayed the mayday call and got response from several vessels. The car ferry "Lovund" diverted to assist as well as the trawler "Cetus" (MMSI: 258054000). There was very bad weather in the area, with southwesterly winds up to gale force so that the anchor dragged. A Sea King rescue helicopter was also on site. The "Skuld" jointly with the "Cetus" were holding the ship in position until the tug "Nautilus Balder" (IMO: 8406157) arrived at 3 p.m. to tow the cargo ship to Herøy.
