The 85 meter long self-propelled barge Nina struck the Oude Ijssel bridge at Zutphen, Netherlands.  When the barge went under the bridge, the wheelhouse struck the underside of the railroad bridge.  The Nina’s wheelhouse was torn off disabling the vessel. Train traffic was halted until the bridge could be inspected for damage.  Reports state the bridge was surveyed and train traffic continued an hour later. The Nina was taken to a quay in Eefde for further inspection. No reports of injuries or pollution released. Reports state the cause of the allision was due to a mechanical fault in the hydraulic system which controlled the wheelhouse height.

The 22 meter long fishing vessel Grietje Gertruida – ARM 14 became disabled off Breskens, Netherlands. The vessel suffered a mechanical fault which prevented it to recover the fishing gear, but the Grietje Gertruida still had propulsion. The Grietje Gertruida proceeded to head back towards Breskens with its gear still lowered.  As the vessel approached the harbour, it requested assistance. The KNRM lifeboat was dispatched and assisted the Grietje Gertruida into port to its berth. No reports of injuries or pollution released.

The 95 meter long self-propelled tanker-barge Johannes P ran aground on the Lek River near Vreeswijk, Netherlands. The vessel had suffered engine failure and went adrift. The crew of the Johannes P was able to drop anchor avoiding going aground.  Another barge arrived a short time later and towed the Johannes P to a nearby jetty. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution.
