Since Thursday, a Norwegian cruise ship has been stranded in the North Sea, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) off the coast of Denmark, due to a power outage caused by an unusual wave that hit the command bridge after its windows were shattered by a gust of wind. The engines are still active, but the radar and navigation systems no longer work. The ship is called MS Maud and is owned by the Norwegian company Hurtigruten Group: it left Floroe in Norway on Thursday morning and was due to arrive in Tilbury in the UK on Friday. There are 266 passengers and 131 crew members on board: Danish authorities and the shipping company that owns the ship have announced that everyone on board is safe and that a tugboat is on its way to salvage the ship and take it to a port tow port in Denmark.
