Super yacht in trouble off the Netherlands
During stormy weather the "Calypso" got into trouble in the North Sea, about 30 miles above Vlieland, on Feb 11, 2017. The tug "Simon Smit" of the Company Noordgat towed the ship to Harlingen after she had got out of control due to problems with the steering gear. At 2.30 a.m. the yacht was in serious trouble. The steering was inoperative, and there was water ingress in the engine room. A rear door did not close properly. The wind was blowing hard with about eight Beaufort, and the yacht was pushed out of the fairway. Three salvors went on board to assist the crew of 14. On Feb 13 the tug towed yacht into the port of Harlingen where she was safely berthed at the quay.
