The evacuation of passengers from a Viking Sky cruise ship has ended and the ship has docked at a quay in Molde harbor, western Norway.
Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg thanked rescue workers and volunteers who had helped respond to what she called a"dramatic day" for passengers aboard the Viking Sky cruise ship.
The Viking Sky cruise ship, which regained engine power on Sunday morning, is traveling to Molde accompanied by two supply ships and one tug assist vessel. There are 436 guests and 458 crew still remaining on the ship. The Norwegian Red Cross, which was treating passengers from the stricken cruise ship at an evacuation center in Hustadvika, on Norway's western coast, said that they were seeing injuries including bruising, broken bones and cuts.Rescuers have evacuated 418 people by helicopter from the Viking Sky cruise ship, a day after the vessel was stranded in rough seas off Norway with 1,300 passengers and crew on board.
"Furniture would slide across the room, slide back and with it came people and glass. It was a very dangerous situation frankly," Jan Terbruegen said.
