On the afternoon of October 29, the 25 meter long, 208 gt passenger ship Tromsø (IMO: 5375204) ran aground in the Tromsøysundet south of the Tromsø Bridge. The Tromsø was proceeding with just its crew onboard from Nord-Lenangenon when a strong wind gust caused the vessel to run up on an uncharted sandbar. The passenger ship remained aground during the low tide until it was able to be pulled free by a tugboat. The Tromsø was towed to the Imes quay where it was inspected for damage.  Reports state the hull had just minor damage from the incident. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
