On the early morning hours of February 10, the 40 meter long, 850 gt fishing vessel Koralhav (IMO: 92223124) ran aground on Litlbjørnøya just south of Rangsundøya, Norway. The Koralhav had stranded on the rocks and developed a significant list to starboard as the water levels dropped with the ebbing tide. The NSSR was called and they deployed the 22 meter long rescue boat Leif Erik Simonsen (MMSI: 259024040) to assist. The rescue boat found all 15 crew on the Koralhav in good condition and there were no water ingress.  Not requiring any rescue, the NSSR returned back to base.

The 32 meter long tug Boa Brage (IMO: 9551894) arrived on scene later the same day and was able to pull the Koralhav back into deep water.  The tug then took the fishing vessel under tow back to Sandnessjøen.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.  The cause of the grounding and the extent of damage caused by the incident was not disclosed.
