Norcape Aground

The 150 meter long, 6309 dwt ro-ro ferry Norcape went aground in the harbour at Troon, Scotland.  The vessel was unable to refloat itself and requested a tug for assistance.  While the tug attempted to pull the Norcape free, a rope snapped injuring one of the crew.   The crewman was taken to hospital and later released.  The Norcape was reloated later that day.  No reports of damage or pollution being released.
