On the early morning of November 1, an unnamed fishing vessel ran aground in the Corran narrows of Loch Linnhe along the coast of Ardgour near Corran, Scotland. The fishing vessel had suffered steering issues and ran hard aground on the ebb tide. The Stornoway coastguard requested the RNLI lifeboat out of Oban to assist. The lifeboat arrived on scene and arrange to refloat the fishing vessel on the rising tide. The fishing vessel had suffered some water ingress into its hold requiring a dewatering pump. The lifeboat pulled the fishing vessel free and towed it into deeper water. Reports state the fishing vessel was able to proceed under its own power to Corpach where it would be inspected for damage. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
