The
Panama registered ship Arisan ran aground at Runde
12.January 1992. She was on a journey to the Netherlands
loaded with iron ore from Narvik when she stranded on
Geitemaren. In the weeks that followed she and the dire
situation got big media coverage and became quite
in-famous. She experienced engine problems before the
accident and slowly drifted, and the only light the crew
had to work with to fix her problems were flashlights and
oil lamps. Two tugboats were in the area but the captain
on Arisan refused any assistance. Soon after she was stuck
on Geitmaren and was in the coming weeks slowly broken
down. 15.March 1992 she was no longer visible on the
surface. The battered remains rest today on a depth of 10
to 30 meter.
