The cargo ship didn't make it to Johan Helberg's doorway, but it came close enough. "Five metres further south, and it would have entered the bedroom," the Norwegian man told BBC News, describing the proximity of the NCL Salten that ran aground outside his home in Byneset, Norway, along the Trondheim fiord, on Thursday morning.

We are grateful that no one was injured in connection with yesterday’s grounding, and that everyone is safe — both on land where the ship grounded and on board,” it said.
