The 82 meter long cargo vessel Selvaagsund ran aground off Sumarsøyna, Norway. The Selvaagsund was headed to Rostock from Florø with a cargo of gravel when it ran hard aground at low tide. The Selvaagsund suffered hull damage with a hole in the bow and two ballast tanks.  The cargo vessel developed a list to port, but was in no danger of capsizing. The eight crew on board were able to bring the flooding under control before authorities arrived a few hours later. Divers surveyed vessel for damage. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
