The 88 meter long, 2859 dwt freighter Ran went aground near Ålabodarna, Sweden.  The Ran was en route to Leith from Wolgast with grain when it was driven aground.  The Swedish Coast Guard responded  to the scene.  The master of the Ran was given a breathalyzer test that return positive for alcohol.  He was later arrested.  No reports of injuries to the seven crew on board at the time.
