The 10 meter long fishing vessel Renzo – SCH3 became disabled off Scheveningen, Netherlands. The Renzo had its propeller fouled by a net and went adrift.  The vessel drifted towards shore and ran up on the breakwater resulting in hull damage.  The fishing vessel sustained water ingress in the engine room.  The two crew requested assistance with the KNRM lifeboat from Scheveningen responding.  The 2 crew were able to safely abandon ship, but the fishing vessel beached along the shoreline. A crane was dispatched later the same day and lifted the fishing vessel off the beach. No reports of injuries.
