Dive teams will inspect a passenger ship that has been brought safely to anchor after it ran aground on the west coast of Scotland.
The ship, the Serenissima, became lodged on sand and gravel in Oban Bay at around 6.30pm on Monday, the coastguard said.
None of the 61 passengers or 51 crew members was injured during the incident.
The Serenissima, an 87-metre vessel, ran aground at the bow at a spot known as the Corran Ledge as it made its way from Ireland to the port of Oban.
The Martime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said there were no reports of injuries, and no reports of pollution or of water entering the ship.
Strong winds hampered initial attempts by the crew and the Oban RNLI lifeboat team to rescue the vessel, but it was eventually re-floated at about 1.10am, the MCA said.
The Serenissima is now anchored in Oban Bay and will undergo a dive inspection later today.
Another ship, the Vos Protector, also ran aground on Monday in Fraserburgh harbour.
The vessel, which was carrying 12 people, was leaving the harbour at around 6.10pm when it grounded in the breakwater.
Aberdeen Coastguard and a Fraserburgh lifeboat were on the scene and managed to tow the boat back to the harbour.
A coastguard spokesman said: “It’s a strange coincidence to have two large ships run aground at similar times on opposite sides of the country.
“The main thing is that no one was injured but it shows how even small changes in the tide and sea can cause problems and ships need to take care.”
