On December 2, the 110 meter long self-propelled barge Vista Mare (MMSI: 244670495) sprung a leak on the IJssel River while berthed at Zutphen, Netherlands. The local fire brigade arrived on scene and found the vessel loaded with 800 tons of ore was sinking.  De-watering pumps were deployed to control the flooding while efforts were made to unload the cargo of ore. When the unloading was completed, the Vista Mare was able to proceed to a shipyard for repairs. No reports of injuries to the 4 crew on board.

On the morning of November 10, the 198 meter long, 19893 dwt vehicle carrier Splendid Ace (IMO: 9252228) became damaged in the Caribbean Sea while entering the port of Kingstown, St. Vincent. The Splendid Ace was attempting to berth at the cruise ship dock when it struck an unknown underwater object. The object punctured the vessel’s starboard forward hull at the waterline. The Splendid Ace was able to unload enough cargo resulting in the hole being sufficiently above the waterline to prevent any water ingress.

Reports state the vessel was surveyed for damage and the vessel remained at the berth for several days. This prevented cruise ships to dock at St. Vincent during this time. The Splendid Ace was able to finally leave port on November 12.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.
