Discover the Jan-Cornelis-3-Sl-42: Ratings & Maritime News

On December 10, 2014, a commendable operation unfolded off the coast of Stellendam when the KNRM lifeboat "Antoinette" was summoned to provide aid to the Dutch trawler "Jan Cornelis III – SL 42" (IMO: 9056155), weighing 475 gross tons. The vessel experienced a significant setback as its propeller became entangled in fishing nets. The lifeboat promptly took a standby position while the trawler, navigating with limited engine power and rudder functionality, made its way toward Stellendam at a cautious speed of four knots, under the watchful escort of the lifeboat. Upon arrival at the port, divers were scheduled to intervene and clear the trawler's propulsion gear, ensuring its safe return to full operational capacity. This incident underscores the importance of maritime safety and the vital support provided by the KNRM.
