Kennemer 2

The 30 meter long research vessel Kennemer went aground off Holwerd, Netherlands. The Kennermer’s mooring lines broke during a gale and drifted until it washed ashore onto the opposite causeway/dike.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.  After the high water receeded, the research vessel was left high and dry.  It remained beached until the following day when four tugs and the KNRM lifeboat were able to pull the Kennemer free.  The vessels proceeded to Harlingen where it was inspected.

The 39 meter long fishing vessel Maria GO 20 went aground near Stellendam, Netherlands. The fishing vessel was coming in from the North Sea to seek shelter from the heavy seas and strong winds when it grounded in the Slijkgat.  No reports of injuries or pollution released. The Stellendam KNRM lifeboat responded to scene.  The lifeboat’s first attempt to refloat the Maria failed.  The lifeboat waited a few hours until the rising tide and was able to refloat the Maria.  The Maria was later inspected for damage.

The 20 meter long fishing vessel Zk48 Jettie Martha caught fire off Ameland, Netherlands.  The fire broke out in the vessel’s engine room.  The crew closed off the engine room and requested assistance.  The KNRM dispatched a lifeboat with a fire rescue team to their aid.  The fire fighters were able to extinguish the blaze.  A salvage tug arrived and took the Zk48 Jettie Martha under tow to Lauwersoog.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.  An inspection later found the fire had been started by a broken pipe.
