The 'Priscilla' ran aground on the Pentland Skerries between Orkney and the Caithness coast northeast of Duncansby Head enroute from Klappeda to Silloth in pos. 58° 40.91' N 002° 53.47' W with six crew members on board on July 18, 2018, at 03:30 a.m. The Thurso RNLI and the utility vessel 'Green Isle' (IMO: 9707962) were first on the scene. The tug in vain made attempts to refloat the cargo ship after the crew had reported no significant damage and there was no sign of pollution. A second, more powerful tug, the 'Multratug 20' (IMO: 9572006) has arrived from Scapa Flow in Orkney for another attempt to refloat the ship at mid-afternoon, just before high tide. The coastguard's emergency towing vessel 'Ievoli Black' was expected at about 18:00. The weather conditions on scene were relatively calm.
