The stern trawler "Atlantic Princess" suffered a leak in a freon pipe in its engine room while being berthed in the Herring Harbour at IJmuiden in the early morning of Oct 18. A watchman who checked the engine room had to be treated in hospital with breathing problems but returned after treatment. Land-based personnel of the volunteer fire rescue located the leak. After turning on the ventilation there were big white clouds escaping from the exhaust of the ship, consisting mostly of water with only a small amount of freon, so no evacuation of the area was needed. The fire department has tried to carry out a temporary repair but they failed. Experts had to be called to fix the leak.
