The 88 meter long, 3782 dwt freighter Isartal went aground near Copenhagen, Denmark.   The Isartal had departed from Copenhagen when it suffered a power failure and went adrift before going aground.   No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.   The Isartal was able to be refloated a few hours later and proceeded to a quay for inspection.   A survey showed no damage and the freighter was allowed to proceed on its voyage.

The 289 meter long, 173044 dwt bulk freighter CSK Glory suffered an explosion near Fynshav, Denmark.  The CSK Glory was proceeding in ballast from Apenrade to Kalundborg when it suffered an explosion in its engine room.   The explosion damaged the engine leaving the CSK Glory adrift.   Tugs were requested and took the CSK Glory under tow.  The vessels proceeded to Kongensgade where the CSK Glory will be taken into a shipyard for repairs.  No reports of pollution released.

The 96 meter long, 972 dwt ro-ro ferry Langeland went aground in dense fog near Taars, Denmark.   The ferry was on its scheduled crossing between Taars and Spodbjerg when it veered out of the channel as the fog reduced visibility to near zero.  No reports of injuries to the 24 persons on board.  The Langeland was able to refloat itself later the same day and proceeded to Taars under it own power.  The Langeland was pulled out of service while divers surveyed the hull for any damage.
