On the early morning of August 29, the 28 meter long, 90 dwt fishing vessel Nuevo Salmón (IMO: 8903600) sank in the Atlantic Ocean 150 miles from the Azores. The Nuevo Salmón sprung a leak the night before. The crew attempted to contain the water ingress, but after a short time they realized the flooding could not be stopped. The fishing vessel requested assistance before the vessel sank. Reports stated the nearby 162 meter long, 13201 dwt reefer CS Standard (IMO: 9438509) safely rescued the 11 crew of the Nuevo Salmón. The crew was later transported by helicopter to São Miguel in the Azores. No further details reported.

On the afternoon of September 3, the 74 meter long, 1400 dwt fishing vessel Verdel (IMO: 8512657) caught fire in the South Atlantic Ocean at Mar del Plata, Argentina. Nearby witnesses spotted smoke billowing from the Verdel and attempted to spray water into the vessel. The local fire brigade was alerted and arrived on scene a short time later.

The fire fighters boarded the Verdel and found the source of the fire.  The fire was coming from the starboard bow and had spread through multiple compartments and passageway to the main deck. It would take several hours of intense work  before the fire fighters extinguished the blaze.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the possible cause of the fire. No reports of injuries.

On the morning of September 3, the 89 meter long, 3587 dwt cargo/container vessel Jade (IMO: 9411769) ran aground on the Ghent Terneuzen Canal near Sas van Gent, Netherlands. The Jade was headed to Ghent from Bilbao when it stranded in the canal near the bridge at Sas van Gent. Multiple tugs were dispatched and were able to refloat the cargo vessel the same day. Two of the 3 tugs involved escorted the Jade to Ghent. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. The cause of the grounding was not disclosed, but there is speculation the Jade had suffered either engine or steering failure before the incident.
