The 37 meter long fishing vessel Amazon went aground off Gustav, Finland.  The Amazon was able to refloat itself and proceeded towards Naantali.  The Finnish Coast Guard vessel Uisko was dispatched to the scene.  The Coast Guard found all four crew uninjured, but found the Amazon was leaking fuel oil into the sea.  The Amazon had suffered three large holes in its hull after the grounding including the fuel tank.  The Uisko had the vessel’s engine stopped and had a tug requested to tow the vessel.   The fishing vessel had 7,000 litres of fuel on board at the time of the grounding.
