Ocean Victory underway to Ijmuiden
On Dec 11 around 6 a.m. the wind had subsided enough to start pulling the "Ocean Victory" away from the coast of Zaandvoort. The two tugs "Triton" and "Hercules" of the Danish company Svitzer Salvage pulled at the bow, while three other tugs, the "Svitzer Muiden", "Simson" and "Ievoli Black" which had its fouled propeller cleared at Ijmuiden in the meantime, served as stern tugs to steer the vessel which proceeded with a speed of three knots. Between 10.30 and 11.30 a.m. it was estimated to have it in the port of Ijmuiden.
