That ship ran aground in 2023 but got off under it's own power.

A bow on grounding of this ship design type would create a lot less damage than the double ended ferry Collaroy in the harbour early 2000s.

Be an interesting read of the incident report including root cause - as was such a report for the Collaroy.

Some reports say helmsman fell asleep. Would have thought there would be more than one person in the bridge. Scandinavian coastline is very steep underwater, yachties often tie their boats to a tree for lunch stops.
