The MS Server hit the island of Fedje, N-NW of Bergen, Norway, in heavy storms and broke into two. The incident took place close to wintering areas of seabirds. WWF-Norway worked with the authorities and mobilized their voluntary oil combating brigades in order to assist with the clean-up operations. Sea and Wildlife Alert Norway (SWAN), a local organization in charge of the animal care and rehabilitation set up a bird holding facility on the island of Fedje, one of the most affected areas, where oiled birds from the island were stabilised. A temporary wildlife centre was set up in Sture Terminal, near Bergen, where all birds were transported to for further treatment, until they were ready to be released.
