On 19 December 2006, the Triton participated in the rescue operation of the crew of the cargo ship Wilson Muuga after it ran aground south of Sandgerði on the Reykjanes peninsula. During the operation, eight sailors from the Triton went into the sea after their rigid inflatable boat overturned in rough seas. Seven of the men were rescued by Icelandic Coast Guard helicopter TF-LÍF while one died.[1]
