On the morning of January 23, the 18 meter long fishing vessel SAS 107 Crampas (MMSI: 211474000) became disabled in the Baltic Sea some 5 nautical miles off Rügen, Germany. The SAS 107 Crampas had suffered engine failure and went adrift in choppy seas with winds reaching gusts up to 74 kilometers/hour. The fishing vessel sent out a distress call with the DGZRS dispatching the 36 meter long rescue boat Harro Koebke (IMO: 9606625) to assist. The Harro Koebke, aided by the 27 meter long salvage vessel Arkona (IMO: 8646379), established a towline and towed the Crampas safely to Sassnitz.  No reports of injuries to the 3 crew, damage or pollution released.

On the morning of January 22, the 660 foot long, 27550 dwt self-unloading bulk carrier Manitoulin (IMO: 8810918) became stranded in ice on Lake Erie just a short distance outside of Buffalo, New York. The Manitoulin had completed unloading a cargo of wheat on the Buffalo River and was heading out to Lake Erie bound for Sarnia, Ontario when it got stuck in ice.

The vessel requested assistance as it did not have enough room to break ice under its own power. The United States Coast Guard dispatched the 43 meter long tug Bristol Bay (IMO: 8635150) to assist freeing the bulk carrier.

No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
