Norwegians wake up and find huge container ship in the garden

A Norwegian man woke up and found a huge container ship that had been stranded and hit his front garden.

The 135m ship (443 feet) missed Johan Helberg’s house at about 05:00 local time on Thursday (03:00 GMT).

Mr. Helberg was only reminded of the commotion by his panicked neighbor, who watched the ship head straight to Byneset shore near Trondheim.

“The doorbell rings when I don’t like it to be turned on,” Herberg told TV2.

He added: “I went to the window and was surprised to see a large ship.” In an interview with the guardian.

“I had to bend my neck to see the top of it. It’s really unreal.”

“Five meters south, it will enter the bedroom.” “I heard nothing.”

Neighbor Jostein Jorgensen said he was awakened by the sound of the ship when he headed to land at full speed and ran to Mr. Herberg’s house.

Mr Jorgensen said: “I’m sure he’s out there, but no, there’s no sign of life. I’ve ringed the bell several times and nothing.”

He told TV2: “I only managed to contact him when I called him.”

The Cyprus-marked cargo ship NCL Salten had 16 people on board and headed southwest through Trondheim Fjord to Orkanger for Orkanger.

According to AFP, no one was injured in the incident.

The cause of the crash is not yet known, and Norwegian police are said to be investigating.

“It’s a very large new neighbor, but it’ll disappear soon,” Helberg added.

The ship was reportedly stranded in 2023 but gained freedom under its own strength.
