The 11 meter long fishing vessel Tarvikbøen sank next to a floating pier in Båtsfjord, Norway.  Authorities were notified the vessel had sunk and deployed a patrol vessel to the scene. They found only the top of the mast of the Tarvikbøen visible above water.

Reports state the vessel had arrived the night before with a 4,000 kg of fish on board.  No one was on board the vessel at the time of the sinking. The cause of the sinking was not yet determined by authorities.
