Just before midday on Saturday the 91m general cargo vessel Fri Sea ran aground during docking maneuvers at Corpach, close to Fort William in Scotland. There were no injuries and no signs of pollution reported.

The seven crewmen have remained on board the vessel. An attempt to re-float the ship is planned for high tide on Sunday.

The Fri Sea is operated by the Kopervik Group. It was due to collect a load of timber.

Another Kopervik cargo ship, the Fri Ocean, ran aground in the Sound of Mull, Scotland, in June 2013.
