The 65 meter long fishing vessel Resolute loaded with herring became disabled off Fair Isle, Shetland Islands. The Resolute had suffered engine failure and went adrift. The trawler Forever Grateful took the Resolute under tow and proceeded to Lerwick, Shetland Islands. At Lerwick, two tugs took over the tow and proceeded into the harbour.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.

The 103 meter long, 6350 dwt supply vessel Subsea Viking caught fire  while berthed at Kirkwall, Orkney Islands. The fire was quickly extinguished.  The local fire brigade along with a Coast Guard tug remained on the scene.  The tug continued to pump water onto the deck in order to cool down pressure tanks located on the deck of the Subsea Viking. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
