On August 21, the 30 meter long cargo/work vessel Leslie Anne (MMSI: 232002848) ran aground in Firth of Clyde in Scotland.  The Leslie Anne was at anchor in Millport Bay off  island of Great Cumbrae when the anchor line parted in strong winds. The vessel was pushed by the wind and was nearly washed ashore. Authorities were alerted and the RNLI lifeboat from Troon and the UK Coastguard rescue team from Cumbrae responded to the scene. No reports of injuries.

Reports state conditions of increased winds may have delayed any salvage of the Leslie Anne. The Leslie Anne had been working on flood prevention construction the island prior to the incident.

The 89 meter long, 2973 dwt freighter Coastal Isle went aground near Bute, Scotland.  The Coastal Isle was proceeding through the Firth of Clyde when it struck rocks just south of the island.   The Coastal Isle contacted the Clyde Coastguard who monitored the situation until a tug could be dispatched to the scene.   The tug arrived and pulled the Coastal Isle off the rocks.   The vessels proceeded to Greenock where the Coastal Isle is to be inspected.  No reports of injuries or pollution being released.  The Coastal Isle was en route to Greenock from Belfast before the incident occurred.
