On the morning of February 9, the 31 meter long, 95 dwt crew boat Calima (IMO: 9684316) became disabled on the Kiel Canal at Brunsbüttel, Germany. The vessel had entered the southern lock when it suffered an oil leak. The vessel remained stuck in the lock chamber for several hours until the tugs Sönke (IMO: 9892705) and Fairplay XV (IMO:9681091) took the Calima under tow. The tugs took the crew boat to a nearby mooring where it went under repairs.  Reports state the vessel was repaired and proceed on the following day.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.

On the evening of February 9, the 64 meter long, 250 dwt ro-ro passenger ferry Haram (IMO: 7812529) ran aground on the Nørebukta off the island Litleholmen, Norway. The Haram was en route to Brattvåg from Dryna with 15 passengers when its bow grounded off the island just a few minutes away from Dryna. To free itself, the crew shifted all the vehicles to the stern of the ferry and reversed engines to pull the vessel free.  No reports of injuries. The Haram was able to proceed under its own power back to Dryna.

Divers inspected the Haram the following morning and found the ferry’s propeller and rudder had sustained damage from the grounding, but there was no water ingress or pollution released. The ferry was pulled out of service until repairs could be made. The incident was under investigation.
