On Oct 22, 2010, around 10 a.m. the tug "Hunter" of the salvage company Noordgat towed the disabled "Paper Star" into the port of Harlingen. The ship had encountered troubles with its steering gear in the evening of Oct 21 and anchored around 30 miles north of Terschelling on pos. 53-50.3 N 004-54 E. The vessel had come from Szczecin and transited the Kiel Canal on Oct 19. After the "Hunter" had picked up the vessel, the towing rope snapped while entering the Stortegat but could be re-installed. The towage is expected to be taken over by the "Anita" in the Blauwe Slenk.
