The ship ran aground in a dead-end stretch of water near the southern pier. Tugs and the Sail Harlingen organising team were quickly on the scene to provide assistance and safely free the vessel. During the recovery operation, one of the towlines snapped, which complicated the situation and required quick action from the crews of both the tug and the 'Sørlandet'. Fortunately, a replacement line was quickly passed over, allowing the ship to be safely moored alongside the quay without further incident.
