On July 21, the 24 meter long fishing vessel Lady Anna caught fire off Honolulu Harbor, Oahu. The crew was alerted as dense black smoke appeared from the engine room. The blaze was caused by a short circuit with the diesel generator  and quickly engulfed the longliner. The eight crew were able to abandon ship to another nearby fishing vessel Saphire III while firefighting vessels arrived on scene. No reports of injuries. Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze a short time later. The Lady Anna sustained significant damage, but remained seaworthy and was towed back to port.

The 24 meter long fishing vessel Grietje Cornelia ran aground  just 50 meters off the shore along the coast of Egmond aan Zee, Netherlands. The trawler requested assistance with a KNRM lifeboat responding. Initially, the lifeboat was unable to refloat the Grietje Cornelia due to the low water levels, but later succeeded on the rising tide a few hours later. No reports of injuries to the three crew, damage or pollution released. The Grietje Cornelia later proceeded to Den Helder.
