The Hurtigruten ship is off the coast of Norway where the seventh Mission: Impossible movie, due out next November, is currently being shot.

Filming was stopped in Venice in February.

A source said: “They are terrified of further delays.

“Tom is determined not to see any more hold-ups.

“The studio believes it will keep everyone safe and get this shoot wrapped up.”

The M:I franchise is one of the most lucrative in history with net earnings estimated at £3billion-plus.
