The 105 meter long cargo vessel Pacific Dawn ran aground off Harlingen, Netherlands. The Pacific Dawn had suffered engine failure just as departed from Harlingen and drifted aground just off the breakwater. The crew dropped anchor while two tugs were requested. The tugs were able to pull the cargo vessel free. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. The crew was later able to restart the main engine and the Pacific Dawn was escorted to Mongstad.

The 3500 dwt boxship Pacific Dawn became disabled off Hull, England.   The vessel had a stuck valve which remained open allowing water to ingress into the ship.   The water ingress quickly flooded the engine room, but the crew was able to stop the flooding before the vessel sank.   No reports of injuries.   The Pacific Dawn was taken under tow to Ijmuiden where the vessel will be repaired.
