First water ingress, then fire
The 'NG 21-Maria Chris', suffered a fire on the morning of Feb 7, 2026, in Lauwersoog. Flames erupted from the wheelhouse. The fire was extinguished by the fire brigade and the crew. A short circuit was most likely the cause of the fire. The Polish crew member, who had slept aboard and detected the fire, was checked the medical center in Delfzijl and in the hospital in Scheemda for further examination, but he didn't have to stay. The trawler had already suffered water damage last week in Cuxhaven due to a burst pipe caused by frost. Extra heaters had been installed upon the departure on Feb 2. But when the skipper-owner Meijer arrived on Feb 5, he saw his cutter leaning strangely backward. There was half a meter of water in the galley, which had flowed down the stairs from a broken pipe in the skipper's cabin. Once everything had been pumped out, the ship proceeded to Lauwersoog in consultation with the surveyor. There was nothing wrong on the way. Everything was running smoothly, no problems, and the trawler arrived in Lauwersoog on Feb 6. One day later, the wheelhouse was gutted by the fire.

Medevac off Terschelling
On May 11, 2017, at 4 p.m. the lifeboat "Arie Visser" was tasked to medevac an inured crew member of the "Maria Chris - NG 21" 50 miles north of Terschelling. The fisherman was bleeding violently and an evacuation was necessary. A rescue helicopter was also alerted which was on site 45 minutes earlier than the "Arie Visser" which needed two hours to the site. A doctor was winched on board of the fishing vessel. After a consultation, it was decided to hoist the patient on board the helicopter. "The Arie Visser" remained on standby until the patient was safely aboard the helicopter.
