Rogue Wave Knocks Out Power and Navigation on Norwegian Cruise Ship

All 266 Passengers and 131 Crew Members Safe as Ship is Towed to Germany

A rogue wave and high winds caused a power outage and knocked out the navigation system on the Norwegian cruise ship MS Maud, which was sailing in the North Sea.
The incident occurred while the ship was about 120 miles off Denmark's west coast, en route to Tilbury, England from Floroe, Norway.
All 266 passengers and 131 crew members aboard the ship were reported safe, with no serious injuries sustained.
The ship, which is being steered manually from the engine room, is being towed to Bremerhaven, Germany for disembarkation.
The MS Maud is owned by HX, a unit of Norway's Hurtigruten Group, and is described as well-suited for expedition cruising.
