Ski blades came to a complete stop at Mjøsa around 12 o’clock on Thursday. The paddle steamer was then around 1.3 nautical miles east of Nesbrua, which goes over to Helgøya. Reason is unclear There must be technical reasons why the ship has stopped, but the exact reason is currently uncertain. That’s what Eva Stø, marketing manager at AS Oplandske Dampskibsselskap, says. A lifeboat helps the boat back to Gjøvik. Passengers are looked after There are 121 passengers on board and 17 in the crew. All passengers on board are well looked after, says the marketing manager. – There is nothing dramatic on board, she says. Stø reports that all sailings have been canceled for the rest of the day. – They are kept informed on board and dropped off at Gjøvik. We drive and check where they are going, whether they can get ahead on their own or whether we have to help them further. They are working on notifying everyone who is going to take Skibladner. Already lost much of the season Earlier in June, Skibladner was exposed to the season’s first accident out on Mjøsa. This meant that large parts of the season were delayed, after having already been postponed due to low water in Mjøsa. The captain estimated that they had lost six million kroner in turnover and over 10,000 passengers. But after five weeks of intense work, the boat was finally able to sail again. Until today, when there was a complete shutdown at Mjøsa.
