The Pacific Orca was underway to an offshore windfarm while the Jurie van den Berg was returning to Eemshaven. The fishing vessel sustained damage to its starboard hull along with its mast and boom. The Pacific Orca had minor damage to its forepeak with dents and scratches above the waterline. No reports of injuries or pollution released. Both vessels were able to proceed back to port under their own power.
