The 64 meter long ro-ro passenger ferry Heilhorn ran aground near  Sandvikvåg, Norway.  The vessel was just a short distance from the pier when passengers heard a loud thud followed by a grinding noise.  The Heilhorn had run hard aground on an offshore rock. The 13 passengers on board were evacuated to the ferry  Raunefjord assisted by a lifeboat. No reports of injuries. The Heilhorn was later refloated assisted by a lifeboat and proceeded to Sandvikvåg.
