A2Sea evacuated 15 crew from installation vessel Sea Worker before it was grounded off the west coast of Denmark in storms.
The company said no one was hurt and all aboard were safely rescued following the incident, which took place around 03.10 on Wednesday morning.
Sea Worker had been in transit to Esbjerg and was caught by a weather window “which was both shorter and worse than expected”.
“The tow line between Sea Worker and the tug boat broke and the vessel drifted towards the coast. Shortly after the evacuation, Sea Worker grounded off the coast at Nymindegab south of Hvide Sande,” said A2Sea.
It added; “The crew are all safe and sound and has been transported to a hotel in Ringkøbing for debriefing.
“The Emergency Response Team of A2Sea has handled the incident according to our emergency procedures and a backup team from the office together with a crisis psychologist are on site at the hotel. All next of kin has been informed.”
