Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Holland

The historic tugboat 'Holland' encountered a challenging situation when it ran aground on the Terschellinger Ground, located west of Terschelling, during its return journey from Hamburg's Port Party to Harlingen. The incident occurred at approximately 11:00 a.m. just before high tide. Fortunately, the vessel remained stable, and all crew members were reported safe. In response to the grounding, the tugs 'Hurricane' and 'Hunter' from Noordgat, stationed in Terschelling, were prepared for a salvage operation in the evening. Thanks to the diligence and expertise of the crew aboard 'Hunter,' the 'Holland' was successfully refloated with the assistance of the rising tide around 10 p.m. The tugboat then made its way to Harlingen, where it docked safely at 12:30 a.m. on May 10.

On February 22, 2013, at 8:30 PM, the Harlingen fire brigade received an urgent call regarding a fire that had erupted from a generator located on the main deck of the vessel 'Holland' while it was docked in port. First responders acted quickly to control the situation, successfully extinguishing the flames within a span of just 45 minutes. Thankfully, the damage caused by the incident remained minimal.
