They were a little surprised when they woke up today. They saw that a boat was against the house wall. But there are no damages to the house at all, says Svein Erik Vagnild, operational chief at the Norwegian Trøndelag police district.

Homeowner Johan Helberg tells Nidaros that he didn't hear any crash but slept through the entire event. Then the neighbor called and asked if he had noticed that there was a large boat outside the door.

When the rescue service arrived at the scene, just before 06.30 on Thursday morning, the vessel was completely aground. No personal injuries or oil spills have been reported, according to Jonas Andersen at the Norwegian rescue service.

We have still chosen to send police and fire department as well as a fire boat and a rescue boat as a precautionary measure, he says to Adresseavisen.
