The ferry in question is named Vadehorn.

Operations manager Mads Bernhoft in the Nordland Police District told NTB that the incident does not appear to be dramatic.
“Something happened in connection with the ferry docking that made it go towards the shore instead of the quay,” he said.
Police are on the scene, but according to Bernhoft, the ferry does not need assistance.
“No injuries have been reported,” he added.
