Guard vessel was in danger of sinking off Zuiderhaaks
The 'Seaforce' ran into trouble in the North Sea on the morning of Oct 26, 2025. The KNRM and the Dutch Coast Guard were called around 5:45 a.m. after the ship was taking on water in the engine room near Zuiderhaaks. The crew required urgent assistance. Lifeboats and a helicopter were mobilized to the scene. The lifeboat 'Irene & Henk' was launched from the beach near Bergen aan Zee because the strong westerly wind had pushed the sea high up against the dunes. In waves of five to eight meters, the lifeboat managed to maintain course towards the 'Seaforce', which was drifting south due to the severe conditions. A Coast Guard helicopter evacuated five of the six people on board. The skipper remained on board. The tug 'Hunter' from Terschelling then towed the vessel to Oudeschild, accompanied by the KNRM Den Helder. The Egmond crew then faced a difficult journey back across the turbulent North Sea. Finally, the 'Irene & Henk' safely reached the beach, where the shore crew was already waiting. The distressed guard vessel was pulled into the port of Oudeschild at around 11:30 a.m. with a list to starboard side and was safely berthed, assisted by the 'Hurricane' (MMSI: 355519000).

Standby ship damaged four sailing yachts
In the evening of Sep 21, 2018, the "Seaforce" allided with four sailing yachts in the city port of Sassnitz upon Rügen. The ship was about to berth at pier 3 of the east port. During the turning manoever in the basin the control of the pitch propeller failed, and strong winds caught the disabled ship and drifted it towards the east jetty. The stern hit a piling and pushed it to the side. Then the stern of the standby vessel hit the pier, and drifting backwards it damaged four sailing yachts which were moored there. Then the crew managed to tie the ship up to the quay. One crew member was slightly injured. The "Seaforce" suffered slight damage, the damage to the yachts had to be assessed yet. The ship was detained for investigations and remained in port by Sep 24.
