Marine technicians were flown into Bermuda this week with a new turbo charger when an enormous cargo ship ran into trouble in bad weather.

The 655-foot Star Hoyanger , a Norwegian break bulk vessel, limped into Penno's Wharf in St. George's on Tuesday.

The ship, en route from Gibraltar to Sydney in Nova Scotia, radioed in to Bermuda that it needed a new charger and repairs to its anchor.

A spokesman for Meyer Agencies, which oversaw the Hoyanger's arrival, said engineers on-board were working on repairs.

He said the ship was due to sail later today.

A spokesman for Bermuda Harbour Radio said: "A new turbo charger had to be flown in, as well as a technician.

Meanwhile the US Navy dropped anchor just off North Shore yesterday morning so ten crew members could be brought on board.

The Navy personnel were flown to Bermuda on Tuesday and transferred to the USS Whidbey Island , a dock-landing ship, at around 10 a.m.

The crew were brought aboard the ship off Murray's Anchorage after being transferred from the Sundeck II charter boat.

On Sunday, two boats and 99 containers, including 12 reefers, were unloaded from the Somers Isle which had docked in Hamilton. She set sail for Florida at 6.30 on Monday night.

Hours earlier, the Bermuda Islander , which arrived from Salem, New Jersey, had unloaded 101 containers -- including 14 reefers -- and a piece of heavy machinery.

She left Hamilton docks just after 8 a.m. on Tuesday.

More than 5,000 tonnes of cement were brought off the Jui Ho at the Dockyard cement silo on Sunday.

The Venezuelan ship, which arrived in Bermuda from Norfolk, Virginia, left for South America at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.

Oil products from the Shell tanker Euplecta were expected to be discharged at Ireland Island and St. George's today and tomorrow.

The ship is due to return to the Bahamas on Saturday.

And 14 cars, 29 reefers, 151 dry containers, oxygen tanks and rods of steel were brought off the MV Oleander at Hamilton docks on Sunday.

The Oleander returned to Port Elizabeth, New Jersey on Tuesday and is scheduled to return to the Island this Sunday.

TURBO TROUBLE -- The Norwegian flagged Star Hoyanger limped into St. George's Harbour Tuesday morining after running into problems on the high seas. The 655-foot break bulk vessel lost its turbo charger while en route from Gibraltar to Nova Scotia's steeltown, Sydney. The giant had to be towed into Penno's Wharf and -- if repairs go according to plan -- is due to sail out later today.
