Hansine disabled during assistance for sinking f/v

The "Hansine" was disabled during an attempt to save the decommissioned 12-m-f/v "Anna" near the Sagasbank south of Fehmarn on May 11, 2013. The "Anna" had suffered engine failure and water ingress about six miles NE of Dahme. The "Hansine" took the ship in tow, but suddenly the water ingress increased, and the towing line had to be slipped at 8.30 p.m. The crew of two of the "Anna" jumped into the water and was recovered by the "Hansine". But the sailing ship got the towing rope into its propeller and thus got disabled too. The lifeboat "Vormann Jantzen" of the DGzRS-Station Großenbrode which had already been notified about the incident off Fehmarn took the "Hansine" alongside and pulled it to Burgstaaken upon Fehmarn. The "Neustrelitz" of the federal police meanwhile secured the sinking site.
