The Danish military's Joint Arctic Command (JAC) said the closest Danish navy ship was around 1,200 nautical miles (more than 2,000km or 1,380 miles) away, adding it was heading to the site and would not reach the grounded ship until Friday at the earliest.
A cruise ship with 206 passengers and crew on board has run aground in northwestern Greenland and rescue will not arrive until Friday at the earliest, authorities said.Greenland's"A cruise ship in trouble in the national park is obviously a worry. The nearest help is far away, our units are far away, and the weather can be very unfavourable," JAC head of operations Commander Brian Jensen said in the statement.
He said the closest Danish navy ship was around 1,200 nautical miles away, adding it was heading to the site and would not reach the grounded ship until Friday at the earliest. "However, in this specific situation, we do not see any immediate danger to human life or the environment, which is reassuring," he added.
Authorities have been in contact with another cruise ship in the area and it has been asked to remain nearby to assist in case the situation changes. The grounded cruise ship might also get free on its own when the tide is high, Greenland television KNR reported.
