The 30 meter long two-masted schooner Angelina Catherina caught fire while off Kiel Holtenau, Germany. The fire started in the engine room, but was quickly contained from spreading to other parts of the ship by the crew. The crew activated the onboard automatic extinguishing system and requested assistance from the water police. The DGzRS lifeboat Berlin responded with members of the local fire brigade to the scene. Additional lifeboats and police patrol boats arrived on scene. The vessels berthed at quay in Kiel Holtenau and the fire was finally extinguished a short time later. No reports of injuries or pollution released.

The 20 meter long fishing vessel Lambert Gre 37 ran aground off Sylt, Germany.  The Lamert Gre 37 was fishing when its gear got stuck on the bottom pulling the vessel a round.  The master of the vessel decided to beach the vessel rather than striking the nearby groynes.  The vessel became stuck as the tide receded.  The DGzRS was alerted and dispatched a lifeboat to the scene.  The lifeboat crew was able to connect a towline and pull the Lambert Gre 37 from the shallows.  The vessels proceded to Havneby upon Rømø Island.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
