The 54 meter long, 386 dwt fishing vessel Umbrina collided with the 50 dwt fishing vessel Altay near Kildin Island, Russia in the Barents Sea.   The Umbrina was struck by the Altay after suffering a power blackout.   The Umbrina had a one meter hole in the hull.   No reports of injuries on either vessel.   A tug was requested and took the Umbrina under tow to safe anchorage.   There the crew sealed the hole.
