Grounding of fishing vessel ZK 67 off Lauwersoog in Holland; Used Rope to Pull it Out to Sea




Written by  AdminSailor
On July 22, 2015, the "Dorus - ZK 67" got stuck on a sand bar in the Westgat off Lauwersoog, Holland.

The local KNRM boat attached a wire and attempted to pull the ship off in spite of extremely strong Tide currents, but there was no movement to get the ship moving. 

Eventually the "Naga" of the BMS also assisted, but these attempts were to no avail, and the lifeboat went back to Lauwersoog as ship and crew were safe so far.
