On October 18, the 10 meter long fishing vessel Frisk Fisk S521 allided with the quay at Skagen, Denmark.  The Frisk Fisk was arriving at the quay when it suffered as steering failure when a cable snapped. Unable to steer, the fishing vessel struck the quay sustaining significant bow damage. The local rescue station responded to the scene.  Using a dewatering pump, they were able to keep the Frisk Fisk afloat to allow the crew to unload the cargo of fish and lobsters.  However, an hour later the Frisk Fisk sank to the bottom.  The following day, a crane lifted the Frisk Fisk and hoist the vessel onto the quay.  Reports state the damage was enough to make the vessel a total loss. No reports of injuries.

Collision off Skagen

Collision off Skagen

The 3500 dwt freighter Frank W collided with the fishing vessel Lilly – E2 off Skagen, Denmark.  The Lilly’s crew of 2 contacted the rescue center stating the vessel was taking on water.  The center deployed two vessels with pumps.   The rough seas in the area slowed the rescue vessels.   Luckily, the pilot boat from Skagen happen to be in the area.   The pilot boat reached the Lilly and safely evacuated the Lilly crew.   The Lilly sank soon after.  The Frank W bound for Halmstad from Ijmuiden continued on to Halmsted to be inspected.   The Denmark Maritime Authority is investigating the incident.  No reports of injuries.   Details on pollution from the sunken Lilly has not been released.
