A tanker and general cargoship have gone aground off Floro within a day of each other, local media reported.

The 4,400-dwt cargo vessel Ingvild (built 1977), operated by Myklebusthaug Management, got stuck on 27 June en route from Mongstad.

The ship, with a crew of 15, grounded at 11 knots, but managed to refloat under its own power and berthed in Floro.
