Fishing vessel broke from its moorings

On Jan 13, 2017, the "Alida Jolanda - SCH 42" broke from her moorings due to a strong increase of the water level by a spring tide and northwest wind in the port of Scheveningen. The fishing vessel was drifted into the middle of the port, only reamining attached to a spring and threatened to be pushed aground. At 2.30 a.m. the KNRM Scheveningen was alerted and deployed the lifeboat "Kitty Roosmale Nepveu" and a KHV-truck. The lifeboat transferred two crewmembers onto the "Alida Jolanda" which had no crew on board, and then pushed the vessel back gently into the wind and back towards the quay. When the crew of the KHV was ready to assist, the ship was properly moored again. The owner of the fishing vessel was present and fixed it with a few additional moorings.

Lifeboat towed disabled fishing vessel

On Sep 23, 2014, at 3.45 a.m. the "Alida Jolanda - SCH 42" suffered engine trouble off the coast of Katwijk. The engine failed due to a malfunctioning cooling water pump. The crew requested the Dutch Coastguard for assistance which in turn alerted the KNRM station Katwijk. One crew member of the lifeboat "De Redder" was embarked on the fishing vessel and helped to connect a towing wire. The "Alida Jolanda" was towed in rough seas to Scheveningen where she was safely moored at 8 a.m., and the lifeboat returned to its station.
