The 40 meter long fishing vessel Nordørn became disabled near Bear Island, Norway. The Nordørn had suffered engine failure and had gone adrift. The Norwegian Coast Guard vessel Barentshav was alerted and set course to intercept the Nordørn.  After several hours, the Barentshav arrived and was able to take the Nordørn under tow.  Both vessels proceeded back to port. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
