Reports state three trawlers went aground off Delft Island and another off Analative Island.  The first trawler with four crew on board went aground on December 18 off Delft Island.  The four crew were rescued after the vessel was washed ashore in rough seas.  On December 19, the Sri Lanka Navy rescued 12 men when their trawlers went aground off Delft Island.  Another six were rescued when their trawler went ashore on Analative Island.   Authorities report that the trawlers did not carry sonar or safety equipment on board.  The vessels just had GPS equipment.    The report states the islands are prone to illegal fishing and problems for both India and Sri Lankan governments.

The trawler Ocean Tiger became disabled near Upernavik, Greenland.  The Ocean Tiger’s main engine went dead after the turbocharger had suffered damage.   The vessel’s fire alarms went off as large amount of smoke was released in the engine room.   The Ocean Tiger’s main power supply also failed leaving the vessel dead in the water.  Another fishing vessel, Markus was nearby and was able to take the Ocean Tiger under tow.  Some 40 hours later, the two vessels arrived at Sisimiut.   No reports of injuries.   Reports state the damage is between 1.5 and 2 million Danish Crowns.
