On November 26, the 22 meter long, 61 gt fishing vessel Samantha (MMSI: 219002838) ran aground off the island of Rømø, Denmark. The DSRS dispatched two lifeboats while the DGzRS dispatched a vessel to the scene later the same day. The lifeboats initial attempts to pull the Samantha free were unsuccessful. It would not be until the following morning on November 27 when the lifeboats were able to refloat the trawler. The Samantha was able to proceed safely to Havneby.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.

On the morning of October 26, the 91 meter long, 778 dwt ro-ro passenger ferry Samsø (IMO: 9548562) allided with a quay at Kalundborg, Denmark. The Samsø was arriving from a voyage from Ballen when it approached its berth in Kalundborg. Just before it reached the berth, a door for walking passengers was opened prematurely and struck a fender on the quay. The door caught the fender causing damage to the door’s hinges and pulled the fender sideways.

The Samsø cancelled several sailings until repair work on the door could be completed and inspected by the Danish Maritime Authority. Reports state the vessel was able to proceed on its scheduled voyage later that afternoon. No reports of injuries and no pollution released.

On February 21, the 21 meter long, 145 gt fishing vessel Ocean Freja became disabled in the North Sea off Thyborøn, Denmark.  The Ocean Freja had lost power after an engine failure and gone adrift 30 miles off shore. The crew requested assistance with the lifeboat Martha Lerche responding.  Large waves caused by the stormy conditions made connecting the towline difficult, but the Martha Lerche was able to take the Ocean Freja under tow. The two vessels arrived safely in Thyborøn. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
