The ship was successfully refloated five days after the spectacular accident.

OSLO, Norway — A cargo ship that ran aground in a Norwegian fjord and narrowly avoided crashing into a house was successfully pulled back into open water and towed to a nearby harbor on Tuesday, five days following the dramatic incident.

In the morning hours, a tugboat refloated the NCL Salten from the shore of the Trondheim fjord, guiding the vessel toward the nearby harbor of Orkanger.

Ole T. Bjørnevik, the general manager of the tugboat company responsible for the refloating operation, told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that the process “went better than expected.”

Containers had been unloaded from the ship ahead of the refloating.

The ship ran aground early last Thursday. No oil spills were reported, and none of the 16 people aboard was injured.

The on-duty navigator, the ship’s second officer, has been charged with negligent navigation after he allegedly fell asleep on duty.
