Whilst discharging cargo in Hartlepool in June of 1972, the m.v. “Norse Viking” needed a generator replacing. This was brought from Gothenburg on the “Kathe Ahrens” and staff from H Q Engineering opened the side of the “Norse Viking”s Engine room to enable the new generator to be slid aboard and get the vessel back to sea as soon as her cargo was discharged.
