Cargo ship aground after engine trouble off Harlingen
The "Pacific Dawn" suffered engine failure in the Wadenzee short time after leaving Harlingen in the afternoon of Mar 19, 2016. The freighter ran aground on the breakwater of the Pollendam off the harbor entrance of Harlingen. In order to avoid that the ship was pushed further agraound, the anchor was dropped. Tugs of the companies Tuinman and Noordgat were called in to get the unloaded cargo ship off. The ship anchored in the Kimstergat, north of Harlingen where the main engine could be restarted. In the early evening the "Pacific Dawn" could continue its journey, accompanied by several tugs, and headed to Mongstad.
