On October 4, the 145 meter long, 16621 dwt tanker Eva Schulte (IMO: 9439826) became disabled in the North Sea west of Ijmuiden, Netherlands. The Eva Schulte was headed to Amsterdam from Brofjorden with a cargo of fuel oil when it suffered engine failure. Multiple lifeboats from the KNRM along with an emergency tug responded as the tanker drifted close to a nearby wind farm. Attempts to establish a towline were unsuccessful as stormy weather conditions with 5 meter waves made operations difficult. Eventually one of the lifeboats were able to establish a towline and the tanker was pulled away from danger. The crew was able to make repairs and restore power to the main engine, but the towline will be dropped when conditions improve.  No reports of injuries to the 21 crew, damage or pollution released.
