On the evening of June 8, 2024, the German flagged pleasure yacht 'Angela' from Westerenmde ran aground in the Seaport Canal near Delfzijl within sight of the harbour with two people on board. Another skipper tried to help, but because the tide was low, it was no longer possible to refloat the yacht. The lifeboat 'Jan and Titia Visser' was deployed from Eemshaven and assessed that the pleasure yacht was too tilted to allow the people on board safely. They therefore transferred to the lifeboat and were taken to the port of Delfzijl, waiting for the next high tide so that the pleasure yacht could be towed off.

YAF HORIZON
On June 10, 2024, the 'Yaf Horizon' caught fire while docked at the Israel shipyard in Haifa. The vessel had arrived in Haifa from Russia on June 9, carrying a cargo of iron or steel, and moored alongside at the Israel Shipyards, in the port's Kishon district. The tug "Ametiya" was taking a central part in the efforts to extinguish the fire on the ship, together with shore-based units of the firefighters from the Kiryot station. The fire broke out on the second level of the engine room, where a generator was burning, which made extinguishing procedure very difficult. There were about five tons of burning fuel on the 2nd deck, which were impossible to access. All the ship's crew evacuated, so there was no danger to human life.
