On January 4, the 27 meter long fishing vessel Kim Roger became disabled before sinking near Lofotodden, Norway. The Kim Roger had suffered engine failure and went adrift in heavy seas.  With waves reaching up to 5 meters high, the fishing vessel suffered water ingress and heeled over on its port side. The gale force winds also pushed the Kim Roger towards shore.  The five crew  on board alerted authorities with a rescue helicopter and lifeboat dispatched to the scene. Before the helicopter was able to hoist the men to safety, the crew fell into the water.  Luckily, the helicopter was able to lift all five crew from the sea to safety. The crew were later taken to hospital. No reports of injuries. The Kim Roger later sank just offshore the coast.

The NSSR 14 meter long lifeboat Bill ran aground onto the rocks near Mandal, Norway. The NSSR lifeboat had struck the rocks damaging the hull on both sides. The vessel sustained water ingress and released some oil into the water. One crewman on board sustained minor injuries.   Booms were placed around the lifeboat until a crane barge arrived and removed the Bill off the rocks.
