The 24 meter long fishing vessel Grietje Cornelia ran aground  just 50 meters off the shore along the coast of Egmond aan Zee, Netherlands. The trawler requested assistance with a KNRM lifeboat responding. Initially, the lifeboat was unable to refloat the Grietje Cornelia due to the low water levels, but later succeeded on the rising tide a few hours later. No reports of injuries to the three crew, damage or pollution released. The Grietje Cornelia later proceeded to Den Helder.
