Having arrived at Lerwick, Shetland Islands, on
November 7, 1993, the 22-year-old Latvian motor
stern-trawling fish factory "Lunohods-1" dragged
her anchor during very severe storm force 10 weather
conditions, with a heavy sea and swell, at approximately
02.30 hours on November 9. She was driven aground just south
of Kirkabister Ness Lighthouse, Bressay Island, at the south
entrance to Lerwick harbour, in lat. 60°07N, long. 01°07W.
Her situation deteriorated during the next hour to such an
extent that she began to sink by the bow. A decision was
taken to abandon the wrecked vessel immediately. Three
crewmen were rescued from a liferaft by Lerwick lifeboat,
another managed to scramble ashore from a second liferaft,
while 56 were airlifted off by RAF rescue helicopters. There
was no loss of life, all on board being rescued by 0630.
Continuing heavy seas and bad weather caused further
deterioration to the condition of the "Lunohods-1"
and by December 1, 1993, she was mostly submerged, with only
her stern and the aft part of the accommodation above water.
Any prospect of salvage was ruled out and the wreck was left
to the elements. (from Maritime Casualties 1963-1996 by

1993. Her 73 crew members were safely rescued. A total of 36
were airlifted in two separate lifts by a Coastguard rescue
helicopter to Sumburgh airport, while 37 others were taken
ashore by Lerwick lifeboat. Taking water, the vesselS fuel
tanks were also damaged, necessitating the majority of her
approximately 1000 tons of bunker oil to be transferred in
order to minimise the risk of pollution. This was completed
on November 28. The list on the "Borodinskoye Polye"
increased to 90 degrees in the continuing heavy seas, so
that she eventually lay on her starboard side, mostly
underwater. Settled as a constructive total loss, the
wrecked vessel completely broke up during the winter storms.

contained 400 tonnes ofdiesel and 150 tonnes of fuel oil,
rupturing, causing severe pollution, the wrecked vessel was
abandoned as a constructive total loss. The crew members
were saved thanks to the joint efforts of a Coastguard
helicopter and Lerwick RNLI lifeboat.
The wreck of the "Pionersk" subsequently broke
in two, with the stern section lying on the seabed, mostly
submerged, and the forepart remaining on the rocks. Concern
was expressed as to the seaworthiness of many elderly

known, occurred. (from Maritime Casualties 1963-1996 by

During summer season of 1996 or 1997, trawler "Smena"
ran aground near Makkaur lighthouse about 20km from the
fishing harbour Batsfjord (northeastern coast of Norway)
while fishing in the Barents Sea. The captain had probably
fallen asleep while fishing, because damage to the propeller
indicated that it was spinning when hitting the
rocks. The trawl towing wires stretched out into the
sea, and the vessel itself rested partly dry on the
shore. Two tugs arrived the next morning, but divers
made the desicion to abandon the wreck. A long gap in the
port side hull extending all the way from the accommodation
section fwd, through the cargo room and into the engine room
aft made the vessel impossible to refloat. All crew
were picked up by coast guard. Two months later, the ship
broke in two. The aft section was pulled back out to sea by
