Cargo ship aground in Norwegian man Johan Helberg’s Byneset yard jolted neighbors before dawn, forcing Jostein Jørgensen to double as alarm clock. The vessel, missing Helberg’s house by just 3 meters, turned suburban tranquility into a marine mishap. “I rang the doorbell many times and nothing,” said Jørgensen, baffled at Helberg’s sleep-through.

Not only did the ship’s helmsman allegedly nod off, but the vessel’s misadventure now prompts an official investigation into the Trondheim Fjord incident. With police probing how a cargo ship parks itself in a yard, Helberg’s morning routine went from coffee to crisis—with zero injuries, but maximum disbelief, as locals gawked at the industrial landscaping.

If the ship had struck the rocky outcrop, it would have slammed into Helberg’s house—missing by just 3 meters.
