Ship spotting of a Norwegian Warship. The crew of Sailing Maja has been boarded by the coast guard ship Nornen several times on voyages between Norway and Sweden. Norway has very high taxes on alcohol, tobacco and food. The coast guard makes sure that we do not take more with us than is allowed. When we do ship spotting, this ship comes to our attention. Nornen class Manufacturer: Gryfia shipyard (Poland) Dimensions: 47.2 m (length), 10.3 m (width), 4.3 meters (draft) Displacement: 675 tons Armament: One 12.7 mm machine weapon Built: 2006 The five vessels in the Nornen class entered service from 2006–2008. The vessel operates in coastal waters in its own zone along the coast. The class consists of: KV "Nornen" (W330) KV "Farm" (W331) KV "Heimdal" (W332) KV "Njord" (W333) KV "Tor" (W334) The vessel operates in accordance with the Coast Guard Act and assists cooperating agencies such as the police and customs. Other tasks include assisting the Norwegian Central Rescue Service, as the response leader during search and rescue operations, and oil recovery after ship accidents. The vessel is equipped with both fixed and mobile booms and also recovery equipment for oil products. They also have the capacity to take on board 150 cubic meters in connection with recovery operations. The Coast Guard vessels are also very well equipped for towing other vessels. The Nornen class is also equipped with HPB (covered rescue vessel), with a large radius of action that is well suited for search, rescue and other emergency operations. And in addition, they make sure that sailboats do not carry too much beer when they sail between Sweden and Norway.
