Eimskip's container vessel stranded outside Fredrikstad  

February 20, 2011

Authorities in Norway on Friday struggled to contain an oil spill after an Icelandic cargo ship ran aground in the country's only marine reserve.

Officials say the ship is leaking from both sides and some oil has already reached the shore.

The Godafoss hit rocks on Thursday night near the Ytre Hvaler marine park as it travelled from Fredrikstad to the Swedish town of Helsingborg.
