On the afternoon of October 15, the 302 meter long, 79423 dwt container ship One Maneuver ran aground on the bramble bank  just outside Southampton, England. The boxship had just left Southampton bound for Rotterdam when it lost power and ran up on the sandbank. Unable to free itself the boxship requested assistance. Multiple tugs arrived on scene and were able to refloat the One Maneuver.  The vessels proceeded to the south-east of the Isle of Wight where the One Maneuver anchored.  The vessel was later inspected by divers for any damage.  The divers find one of the vessel’s ballast tanks had been breached.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.

On September 22, the 22 meter long fishing vessel Ornefjeld (MMSI: 512455000) ran aground in the Ōrākei Marina, Auckland, New Zealand. The Ornefjeld arrived at the marina to refuel right before high tide. As the vessel was refueling, the tide went out leaving the fishing vessel aground. The vessel remained stuck at the berth until the next high tide when it was able to free itself. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. Reports state the Ornefjeld has a large draft which lead to the grounding.
