The "Wilson Rhine" was in ultimate danger of running aground off Marstein in Austevoll in the night of Sep 1, 2010, at 4 a.m while coming from Rotterdam. Two of the crew, the Russioan captain and the coxswain, were found to be intoxicated. The traffic control at Kvitsøy had tried to get in contact with the ship in order to make it alter its dangerous course. But in the meantime the ship swung back just metres off a dangerous shallow and later docked at Straume Quay in Sotra with its cargo of steel. Here the Sotra, Askøy and Øygarden District-police boarded the ship for investigations. The two officers were taken away for taking blood samples.
