Alluitsup Paa (Sydprøven) and storm warning

While we are waiting for photos from Greenland: Skjoldungen at the day of launch 20th October 2012
Published 06th Jul 2016

Skjoldungen has reached the harbor in Alluitsup Paa (Sydprøven) and is awaiting the warned storm to pass.

Skjoldungen docked around 15:00 at the small harbor of Sydprøven. Crew and ship are doing well after the challenging night when they did not get much sleep.

A storm has been foreshadowed and Skjoldungen will therefore stay in Sydprøven until tomorrow. If weather allows the ship will then proceed the voyage - otherwise they will stay another day.

The ship's transmitter is temporarily offline which makes it seem like the ship has not yet reached the harbor while it actually is safe and well at the pier in the township of Alluitsup Paa (Sydprøven). We are working to get the transmitter back online.
