A quay-mounted crane was also knocked down, crashing onto the dredger's deck and rupturing several hydraulic lines. The relevsng authorities confirmed that a minor quantity of hydraulic oil leaked into the water, but stated it was minimal and expected to evaporate quickly. The cause of the dredger's deviation remained unknown, and an investigation was underway. The ' Hein' was stationary at the North Quay as of July 26.

On the morning of July 26, the floating crane 'BHV Athlet' lifted the sunken 'Orca' to the surface. Divers had previously attached slings to the vessel, which the crane used to pull it to the surface. The next step was to pump out the water-oil mixture in the vessel, check the vessel for buoyancy, and tow it away. The leak in the hull had previously been temporarily sealed. The drilling crane was cut off and removed during the night of July 25. Report with video: https://www.butenunbinnen.de/nachrichten/bremen-industriehafen-schlepper-gesunken-bohrkran-100.html

The full reopening of Holyhead has been delayed again the day before it was due to reopen. Two berths at Holyhead, which links north Wales and Dublin, were damaged on Dec 7 during Storm Darragh, affecting thousands of travellers and parcel deliveries over Christmas, as well as businesses in the town. One berth reopened on Jan 15, while the second, Terminal 3, was originally set to reopen on July 1, but was pushed back originally to July 15 and now to July 18. Stena Line, which owns the port, has announced Terminal 3 will reopen on July 19 due to adverse weather conditions delaying the final repairs. Stena Line and Irish Ferries have been currently running from a single berth, rather than the usual two Stena Line and Irish Ferries have been running their regular four daily services from a single berth, rather than the usual two. Traders in Holyhead said they had seen a huge drop in footfall and earnings since the damage to the port.

According to the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF), the unidentified male crew member who died after going overnoard, allegedly stabbed a female co-worker during a dispute. “Shortly before 7:30 p.m., a 28-year-old South African female crew member was allegedly stabbed multiple times by another crew member, a 35-year-old South African male. Following the incident, the male reportedly fled from the scene and jumped into the water. He was retrieved unresponsive and pronounced dead by onboard medical staff. Despite immediately launching a search and rescue mission and finding the crew member in less than an hour, he could not be saved. His alleged victim, despite receiving multiple stab wounds to her upper body, was in stable condition after being attended to by the onboard medical team. An investigation into the attack was underway, and an autopsy will be conducted to determine the deceased crew member’s exact cause of death. Despite the circumstances, the up to 5,610 passengers onboard the world’s largest cruise ship were not in any danger. This was not a random attack, but rather the assault appears to be the result of a disagreement between two crew members. As the 'Icon of the Seas' only had to briefly backtrack to recover the crew member’s body, there was no significant impact to the itinerary.

The fire on the 'Holiday Island' in Prince Edward Island on July 22, 2022 has led the Transportation Safety Board of Canadato launch a national investigation into ship fires and the responses to them. The board announced its investigation as it released a report, in which, the independent agency said that the crew helped passengers safely down the ferry’s two evacuation slides and into life rafts where they were picked up by local boats. The fire had started in themain engine room after its fuel injection system, whch had been repaired a day before, failed and caused fuel to spray onto the hot engine and ignite. The crew shut down the engine, attempted to close the fuel supply valves and beached the vessel on a nearby sandbar. The crew believed they had activated a carbon dioxide fire suppression system from the ship’s bridge; however, the instructions were unclear and the system was not actually engaged. Initially this went unnoticed, allowing the fire to grow and it wasn’t until 15 minutes later that the crew manually released the CO2. By then the fire had intensified. Despite efforts, it couldn’t be extinguished and the vessel was abandoned until the fire burned out two days later, leaving the ferry damaged beyond repair- A report released nearly one year ago on vessel safety included three recommendations related to crew training, passenger evacuation procedures and the need for accurate passenger counts. But many of these same issued were identified on the 'Holiday Island'. For example, the ship’s captain initially reported 182 passengers on board when the final count was 236. The agency’s report found that the crew aboard the ferry had varying levels of training, and of familiarity with the life-saving equipment, and that it was unclear who was legally responsible for the ferry’s safety. The ferry was operated by Northumberland Ferries but on behalf of Transport Canada. In a statement on July 23, 2025, Mark Wilson, president and CEO of Northumberland Ferries, said the company welcomes the safety board’s findings, adding that 16 corrective actions have already been taken dating back to 2022 to improve the ferry’s performance. These actions included enhancing the emergency training, revising and updating procedures and strengthening operational protocols. The company will work with Transport Canada to ensure that the report’s findings are implemented in a timely and effective fashion. The board recommended that Transport Canada provide better guidance on who is responsible for vessel safety. The board said its national investigation will include consultations with marine operators, firefighting services and ports to improve systemic safety gaps related to ship fires. Over the past 35 years, the safety board has issued nine safety concerns and 10 recommendations related to fire safety, while in the last 10 years nearly 400 fires on commercial vessels have been reported to the agency.

A Russian Iskander missile hit the Odesa port area on July 3, 2025, when dockworkers were unloading metal from a São Tomé and Príncipe-registered cargo ship, shortly after an air-raid warning was issued in Odesa at 12:47 p.m. Minutes later, the Ukrainian Air Force reported a Russian aerial asset approaching the city. Two people, one dock worker and a truck driver, were killed in the attack with the cluster ballistic missile, which is prohibited, Six people, including port employees and two Syrian crew members of the ship, were injuried. Vessel tracking were showing no ships in the Odesa region, but this is not unusual, as vessels are instructed to turn off their AIS when sailing to the Black Sea ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhnyy. Port infrastructure, such as gantry cranes, warehouses, and equipment as well as containers and trucks were damaged. Ukrainian officials have stated that the attack is not an isolated incident but a part of a campaign to separate Ukraine from the rest of the world by destroying its export infrastructure. These attacks are threatening global food security and have urgently called for an international response. On March 11, 2025, the Barbados-flagged bulk carrier 'MJ Pinar' was struck while loading wheat, resulting in the deaths of four crew members and injuring to others . On March 1, 2025, the Panama-flagged container m/v 'MSC Levante F' suffereed damage from a missile strike, injuring two port workers. The cumulative effect of the Russian attacks has been the destruction of nearly 400 units of port infrastructure and over 30 vessels.

A Russian ballistic missile strike on the port of Odessa in southern Ukraine killed four Syrian people and damaged a Barbados-flagged cargo ship, on the evening of June 34, 2025, shortly after Ukraine agreed to a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. At the time of the attack, the ship was loading wheat destined for Algeria. Russia thus continued attacking Ukraine's infrastructure, including ports that contribute to global food security.
