Grounding off Sylt
On Jan 11, 2026, at around 9 a.m., the "Katharine-HV 16", which had moored on the outside of the northern breakwater of List harbour with two crew members on board, was unable to maintain its position. Southeasterly winds of force six pushed the vessel toward the shore, where it eventually ran aground in the mud. The sea rescuers from the DGzRS station in List attended with the lifeboat "Horst Heiner Kneten", which was temporarily stationed there, and sailed the short distance out of the port to the grounding site. In light snowfall, they passed a towline to the trawler. Operating at near full power, they managed to free the fishing vessel with the lifeboat. It was then able to return to Havneby under its own power at 10 a.m. At 4 p.m. it left the port again towards the fishing grounds.

Shrimper grounded off Rømø
The "Katharine" ran aground on July 6, 2016, at 2.10 a.m., southwest of Rømø island and alerted the lifeboat station List upon Sylt of the DGzRS. The shrimper had suffered a bottom touch between two sand bars and was then pushed by strong currents and northwestern winds of seven Beaufort onto the sands. The lifeboat "Pidder Lüng" rushed to the scene and reached the grounding site at 2.30 a.m. The vessel had been pushed already high onto the sands and was hit by swells of three meters height. The lifeboat managed to establish a towing connection in spite of the severe seas and pulled the "Katharine" back to deeper water. It escorted the casualty back to its homeport Havneby, because it had suffered rudder damage in the grounding.
