"On the evening of December 31, 2002 we received a distress signal from a Norwegian freighter, shipping herring in the form of barrels. The accident most likely occurred due to a shift in the ship's cargo which was caused by collapsed barrels, and subsequent capsizing of the vessel. Conditions were partly cloudy with easterly winds blowing at 40 knots."
