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.

On June 8, the 23 meter long fishing vessel Gloire A Marie III struck the pierhead at the entrance to the port of Boulogne, France. The pier was under construction and was the signal lights had been removed when the trawler struck. The bulbous bow hit the pier foundation and part of the hull was punctured by the rocks resulting in water ingress. No reports of injuries or pollution released. A lifeboat was alerted and escorted the Gloire A Marie III into port. The trawler proceeded to a shipyard and pulled into a dry dock for repairs.
