Aurora picked up her local Pilot at Fugloy pilot station at 4.45am and proceeded in to the fjord. At 5.20am, shortly after the Pilot took the Conn of the vessel, Aurora passed the island of Karlsoya to starboard and entered the Ullsfjord proceeding south westwards.
Once abeam of Grotnes Aurora altered more to the west and entered the Grotsundet. At 6.30am she was passing the small island of Nipoya to starboard. Once in a position between Skallen and Hansneset lights she altered to the south and, making her final approaches to the town of Tromso, took a large turn to starboard to berth port side to the quay on Breivika terminal.
