Collision on the Zaan
On March 24, 2026, at 7.50 a.m. the 'La Vida', en route from Koog-an-de-Zaan to Amsterdam, was in a head-on-collision with the cement tanker 'Westlandgracht' (MMSI: 244660255), enroute from Amsterdam to Nieuwegin, under the opened Prins Bernhard Bridge in Zaandam. The Port Authority was quickly on the scene. A police boat went alongside the vessels, which were subsequently moored near De Factorij at the west side of the Zaan after the incident. Havens- en Vaarwegen attended with the 'Zaanstad II'. The 'La Vida' appeared to have hit the sheet piling beneath the bridge. However, the bridge appeared to be able to open normally; traffic was not obstructed. The 'Westlandgracht' berthed in Nieuwegin on March 25 after a short stop in Zaandam.

The "Woutrina" suffered water ingress in the engine room in the morning of Apr 20, 2011. The water ingress was remarked when the ship was to be unloaded at Agrifirm at 10 a.m. and the fire rescue of Veghel called. They got the situation under control 2 hours later with a submersible turbine pump to pump the water out. Because there was some oil in the bilge, it built a layer of oil on the water which made it difficult to pump it back into the channel. The fire brigade turned Rijkswaterstraat to ensure a safe discharge of the oil-water-mixture and to handle the matter further. In the follow-up a small leak was discovered in the trunk space to a food compartment. The cause was still unknown, but firefighters suspected a broken shaft to have caused the leak.
