The alarm about the leak came in at 7:30 p.m. The rescue helicopter is on its way but is not expected to arrive until midnight. Rescue efforts from Svalbard are also on their way to the site.
According to the shipping manager, the boat has started to take water into the engine room, and the staff on the boat are working to pump out water themselves to maintain stability.
Russian trawlers have also set course for the boat, writes NRK.
