Faroese authorities will not publicly disclose findings on Pressarin boat incident

The Faroese Maritime Authority will not release its conclusions about the grounding of the fishing vessel Pressarin in Sørvágsfjørður on 1 April, despite completing its investigation, national broadcaster Kringvarp Føroya reports.

Hans Johannes á Brúgv, director of the Maritime Authority, confirmed that while the case has been “sufficiently clarified to make a decision,” the outcome will remain internal. The authority has ruled out a formal marine accident inquiry and will not refer the matter to Denmark’s maritime compensation board.

The vessel ran aground near Skerhólmur in the evening of 1 April and sustained significant damage before being recovered in Sørvágur.
