The 72 meter long, 2263 gt fishing vessel Knester went aground in the port of Sommarøy, Norway.  The Knester had just completed a trip in the Norwegian Sea with 1270 tons of herring on board when it attempted to enter the harbour and became stuck on a sand bar.  The fishing vessel emptied its ballast tanks and is awaiting the next high tide to refloat itself.   No reports of injuries, damage or pollution being released.
