The 66 meter long, 2440 dwt freighter Biostar went aground off Vibransoy Island near Stavanger, Norway.  The Biostar suffered damage to its bow and stern.   The crew requested assistance with a lifeboat and tug responding.  The rescue vessels were able to refloat the Biostar.   The tug took the Biostar under tow and proceeded to Garpeskjærskaien.   No reports of injuries or pollution being released.  An inspection showed the Biostar suffered damage to its propeller and rudder.
