The 60 meter long fishing vessel Havborg ran aground in the Tromsøy Sound near Solstrand, Norway.  The Havborg had stranded on a sandbank on the receding tide. The trawler requested assistance with the NSSR lifeboat responding. The lifeboat failed to pull the lifeboat free during low tide and had to wait several hours until the rising tide allowed for another attempt. The following morning the Havborg was pulled free.  Divers inspected the hull and found no damage. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
