The 57 meter long fishing vessel Rockall allided with the Storholm Bridge at Austevoll, Norway.  The trawler attempted to pass under the bridge when its mast struck the bridge.   The bridge was undamaged, but the mast broke damaging the vessel’s radar and antennas.   No reports of injuries or pollution released.  Reports state the accident was caused by an outdated chart.
