The 33 meter long passenger ferry Lysefjord ran aground off Brimse, Norway. The Lysefjord with six persons on board was reversing towards the dock when a gust of wind caused the ferry to drift aground.  A lifeboat, fireboat and patrol boat were dispatched to the scene. The Lysefjord was later refloated and taken under tow to Stavanger.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
