The 64 meter long, 150 dwt ro-ro passenger ferry Eid allided with a quay at Sæbø, Norway. The ferry was approaching the terminal when it failed to slow down and struck the quay.  The Eid continued forward until it went aground in shallow water. Passengers on board were thrown off their feet, but no reports of injuries. A tug was dispatched and pulled the Eid free a short time later. The ferry sustained some bow damage and was pulled out of service. Reports state the cause of the allision was due to a malfunction.
