On June 1, the 35 meter long fishing vessel Lise Beate became disabled off Honningsvåg, Norway. The Lise Beate had become disabled after a net fouled the vessel’s propeller.  With the fishing vessel adrift, the crew requested assistance. The NSSR  responded and dispatched the rescue boat Odin to the scene. The Odin was able to tow the Lise Beate back to Honningsvåg a few hours later.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. Reports state the net was later cleared and the Lise Beate proceeded under her own power to Gjesvær.

The 88 meter long, 3710 dwt cargo vessel Vitin ran aground near Tonnes in Lurøy, Norway. The Vitin had run ashore during the early morning hours and stranded itself just a few meters off the shoreline. The vessel sustained damage and water ingress to a ballast tank, but there were no injuries and no pollution released. The Vitin notified authorities who dispatched a rescue boat and tug to the scene.  The tug was able to pull the Vitin free several hours later. The cargo vessel was escorted to Sandnessjøen where it can be inspected further. The cause of the grounding was not reported.

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.
