The 414 dwt trawler Krasnoye Selo was reported aground off the island of Kildin, Russia.   The fishing vessel had attempted to ride out the storm using the island as protection, but the strong winds pushed the trawler ashore.  A tug from Murmansk was dispatched to the traweler.   Reports state the crew of the trawler are not in danger.   Due to the severe weather, the tug is proceeding at minimal speed and won’t reach the crew until the next day.
