Arisan ended her days as so many other vessels
before her during a storm outside Runde on January 12th 1992. The
vessel which were on a journey to the Netherlands with iron ore
from Narvik stranded, and in the weeks that followed the ship got
big media coverage. The vessel had big engine problems before the
accident, and the only light that the crew had to work with were
flashlights and oil lamps. Two tugboats were in the area but the
skipper refused to receive help from these boats. Soon after the
vessel stranded on Geitmaren straight west of Runde. The vessel
went slowly down in the days to come, and on the 15th of March Arisan
had disappeared down in the depths. Today the wreck of Arisan lies
mostly crushed on a depth of ten to twenty meters. Just like the
other wrecks in this area, you need a boat to reach the remains
of Arisan...
