Sailing ship was in danger of sinking after striking breakwater
The 'Johanna Engelina' struck a breakwater in the Wadden Sea near Kornwerderzand on the early evening of Oct 26, 2026, and subsequently became stuck. The crew requested assistance, after which salvage company Rederij Noordgat from Terschelling arrived on the scene with the fast rescue boat 'Hurricane'. The ship was pulled free from the breakwater. Howeve, it then became apparent that more water was entering the vessel than initially thought. Pumps were immediately brought on board. Noordgat's second fast boat, the 'Skua', was also deployed and headed towards the ship with additional pumping equipment and support. Because the situation on board was deteriorating, the KNRM Harlingen was also alerted on behalf of the Coast Guard. The rescuers arrived quickly and assisted in locating the leak. Subsequently, an attempt was made to seal the leak as best as possible using an emergency solution. At that moment, there was a significant amount of water inside the ship. To minimise the risk of sinking, it was intentionally grounded with the assistance of the vessels involved. After working for several hours to seal the leak and pump out the ship, the course was set towards the port of Harlingen around 11:00 p.m. Rijkswaterstaat, with the patrol boat 'RWS 76', was also on site to monitor and provide support. Upon entering the harbor, the ship also received assistance from the 'BDS Supporter', a salvage vessel from Harlingen. The salvors assisted to safely move the ship with its own power into the Industrial Harbour and moor it at the quay at BDS on Oct 27 at 1 a.m. In the run of the day, the ship was taken ashore using the ship lift, so that the damage could be further investigated and the exact extent of the leak and other damage be determined. The extent of the damage was yet unknown. Report with photos: https://112fryslan.nl/schip-botst-op-strekdam-en-raakt-lek-hulpdiensten-in-actie/
