The ship ran aground between Norway and Russia, seeked emergency shelter in Tromsø. The ship has damanges on it propellors and rudder. It anchored up near Tromsø for while until the port authorities and governments told the ship to leave due to security concern. Basically the ship stayed outside a small populated island, and it was determined the island would be blown flat if something happened. The Norwegian government are likely extra nerveous about this, just a small amount of the same stuff was used to blow up the government quarter in Oslo in the terrorist attack by Anders Brevik. Presumably the ship tried to get to another port elsehwhere, but got into more mechanical trouble.
