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.
