The 66 meter long, 1784 dwt freighter Mokosica became disabled near Valderøya, Norway.  The freighter had suffered engine failure and drifted off course.  The Mokosica drifted toward the rocks at Valderøya, but the crew was able to drop anchor just short of a small pier.   A NSSR lifeboat was requested and arrived on scene to take the Mokosica under tow.   The vessels proceeded out of the bay to Ålesund.  No reports of injuries to the six crew on board, damage or pollution released.

The 68 meter long fishing vessel Morten Einar became disabled near Øksnes, Norway.  The Morten Einar had its propeller fouled by a net.   The crew requested assistance with the NSSR dispatching a lifeboat from Myre to the scene.   The lifeboat took the Morten Einar under tow and proceeded back to Myre.  Both vessels safely reached harbour the next day.  There divers were able to clear the propeller a few hours later. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
