On the early morning of February 13, the 14 meter long fishing vessel Havbris (MMSI: 257253620) ran aground in the Magerøy Sound near Honningsvåg, Norway. The fishing vessel found itself high and dry on the rocky coast with the outgoing tide.  Fortunately, the two crew on board the Havbris  would be rescued by the 115 meter long passenger ship Havila Polaris (IMO: 9946910) and the NSSR lifeboat Odin. Reports state the Odin would assist salvaging the Havbris  on the next rising tide.  No reports of injuries.

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.

On the evening of February 9, the 64 meter long, 250 dwt ro-ro passenger ferry Haram (IMO: 7812529) ran aground on the Nørebukta off the island Litleholmen, Norway. The Haram was en route to Brattvåg from Dryna with 15 passengers when its bow grounded off the island just a few minutes away from Dryna. To free itself, the crew shifted all the vehicles to the stern of the ferry and reversed engines to pull the vessel free.  No reports of injuries. The Haram was able to proceed under its own power back to Dryna.

Divers inspected the Haram the following morning and found the ferry’s propeller and rudder had sustained damage from the grounding, but there was no water ingress or pollution released. The ferry was pulled out of service until repairs could be made. The incident was under investigation.
