On the night of November 9, the 110 meter long self-propelled tanker-barge Nieuwe Maas (MMSI: 244316022) ran aground on the Waal while en route to Rotterdam. The master of the Nieuwe Maas had suffered a medical emergency before it stranded up on a crib off Vuren, Netherlands. The vessel sustained significant hull damage to its bow and became firmly stuck on the crib. The local fire brigade responded and found the master of the Nieuwe Maas unresponsive. Attempts by the fire fighters to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.  Authorities would later report the master had died from natural causes.

Reports state the Nieuwe Maas was later pulled off the crib and refloated the next morning. Reports state the vessel was taken a shipyard for repairs. No reports of pollution released.
