On November 12, the 110 meter long self-propelled barge Con Zelo ran aground just outside the port of Harlingen, Netherlands. The Con Zelo was proceeding to Ghent from Harlingen with a cargo of salt when it ran aground onto the shallows. Several nearby vessels including a KNRM lifeboat attempted to pull the Con Zelo free, but without success. The Con Zelo was refloated later on the rising tide. No injuries, damage or pollution released.
The 10 meter long fishing vessel Renzo – SCH3 became disabled off Scheveningen, Netherlands. The Renzo had its propeller fouled by a net and went adrift. The vessel drifted towards shore and ran up on the breakwater resulting in hull damage. The fishing vessel sustained water ingress in the engine room. The two crew requested assistance with the KNRM lifeboat from Scheveningen responding. The 2 crew were able to safely abandon ship, but the fishing vessel beached along the shoreline. A crane was dispatched later the same day and lifted the fishing vessel off the beach. No reports of injuries.

The 18 meter long fishing vessel Dorus ZK 67 ran aground on the Westgat near Lauwersoog, Netherlands. The trawler had become stuck on a sandbar with the falling tide and could not free itself. A KNRM lifeboat responded and attempted to pull the Dorus free, but the current was too strong. Additional helped arrived and the combined effort was also not able to budge the fishing vessel free. The KNRM lifeboat transferred the crew off the Dorus ZK 67 and took them to Lauwersoog. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
