The 47 meter long, 499 gt water tanker Tonny ran aground on Brottøy near Raftsundet, Norway. The tanker was proceeding from Myre when it ran aground just off the shore. The bow of the Tonny was holed and the tanker suffered water ingress.

The crew requested assistance with a NSSR lifeboat and tug responding. The vessels failed several times to pull the Tonny free until it finally refloated with the rising tide. No reports of injuries to the three crew on board. The cause of the grounding was not reported.
