In the night of Jan 15, 2013, the "Elize V", coming from Lelystad, got out of the fairway and ran aground on a sandbar in the Boontjes off the port of Harlingen with 1800 tons gas oil on board. The ship could be refloated at 1.15 p.m. after the bunker tanker "Jacqueline" had come alongside and pumped off gas oil. Also Rijkwaterstraat and the salvage company BSDS from Harlingen were involved. As a precaution oil booms were laid out around the tanker. Winds on Scene were 7-8 beaufort. After the salvage, the ship proceeded to Harlingen for surveys and docked at 1.45 p.m. Dutch reports with photos and video: http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/21653359/__Tankschip_vast_in_vaargeul__.html http://www.scannernet.nl/nieuws-uit-harlingen-en-omstreken/actueel-nieuws/911-vastgelopen-tanker-harlingen-vlotgetrokken-fotos-video.html http://www.transport-online.nl/site/nieuws-zeevracht/index.php?news=1000681#.Ubydx8jwDIU http://www.lc.nl/friesland/regio/article15988343.ece/Vastgelopen-schip-weer-los-
