2019
We arrived at the year 2019. That the weather is upset because of climate change is apparent from the extreme weather conditions that year. A number of ships ran into problems, including the MSC Zoe that lost many containers. Racing legend Niki Lauda passed away at age 70 and singer Marie Fredriksson van Roxette passed away at age 61. Maarten van de Weijden succeeded in completing the Elfstedentocht swimming.
Our NCC was in 2019 held at Isaac Academy.
