A ship crew was safely evacuated after losing power off the coast of Norway, facing waves up to 50 feet high. The ship, transporting small yachts, became uncontrollable, prompting the removal of its 12-member crew. Some sailors had to jump into the ocean for rescue due to the ship's instability. The abandoned vessel is now drifting towards Norway's coast, raising concerns about potential sinking or crashing, which could lead to an oil spill. Efforts are underway to stabilize the ship and prevent environmental damage.
