Following a brief improvement in weather conditions on July 2, a 16-member salvage team successfully boarded the 'Wan Hai 503'. Their immediate priorities included conducting a thorough search for the missing crew member within accessible areas of the casualty. No signs of the missing person were discovered. The salvage team has activated five pumps onboard, dewatering both the engine room and the affected cargo holds. This has led to a significant reduction in engine room water levels, by approximately 3.5 metres, reducing the vessel's overall draft and providing a safer operational environment. The visible fire onboard has largely been contained, with only light smoke emanating forward of the accommodation block and from cargo hold no. 4. No active flames have been observed in the most recent operations. Continuous hull and hold temperature monitoring was being carried out using thermal imaging to assess structural heat stress and potential flare-ups. Additionally, the application of approximately 9000 litres of Pyrocool firefighting agent has been completed, effectively reducing hotspot temperatures, particularly in cargo hold no. 4, where maximum recorded temperatures have now fallen to 64°C on the port side and 68°C on the starboard side. The 'Offshore Warrior' remained the primary towing platform, maintaining the vessel’s position outside the EEZ. The 'Saroja Blessings', 'Saksham', 'Water Lily', 'SCI Panna', and the recently deployed tug 'Virgo' were engaged in critical support operations including boundary cooling, material transfer, thermal imaging, and personnel rotation. The firefighting team has shifted focus to localised boundary cooling operations using hatch-cover mounted arrangements to target specific heat-affected zones. Approximately 6000 litres of Pyrocool remained in reserve for any escalation, with an additional supply pre-positioned in Singapore for rapid deployment. CO₂ injection into cargo hold no. 5 has been initiated to suppress internal smouldering, with two further CO₂ discharges kept ready if required. In parallel, the salvage team has commenced ventilation of starboard side tunnels to reduce hazardous gas concentrations, allowing safer forward access and potential operations on the bow. Preparations were ongoing to rig a Dyneema towline on the bow as an alternative towing arrangement, providing flexibility should existing tow connections be compromised. Furthermore, replacing the current soft towlines with steel or Dyneema ropes remained a high priority, subject to operational windows and prevailing sea conditions. The 'SCI Panna' continued to provide coastal support within India’s jurisdictional limits. The cargo hold no. 4 continued to have elevated temperatures (approx. 64°C port side, 68°C starboard side) and ongoing smouldering of cargo, including plastic resin containers. Hold no. 5 starboard side showed localized high temperatures but remaineds contained following CO2 release. The engine room remained partially flooded, with water ingress suspected from cargo holds. Pumping efforts were steadily reducing water levels, and full dewatering was prioritised, weather permitting. The missing crew search remained ongoing in accessible areas. High winds and swells were intermittently limiting operations; however, salvage crews have maximized available weather windows for critical tasks. A detailed Port of Refuge proposal was under preparation for submission. Vessel stability assessments, bunker and ballast soundings, and ventilation of enclosed spaces continued in parallel to ensure readiness for further movement. The situation required continued focus on dewatering, fire containment and formalizing safe entry into a Port of Refuge. All government agencies, remained engaged in ensuring environmental protection, safety of life, and mitigation of escalation risks.

On July 2, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., the CROSS Gris-Nez received a distress signal from the 'Tim Bao', which was located off the coast of Saint-Valéry-en-Caux. CROSS watchstanders attempted to contact the vessel but received no response. The CROSS informed the shipowner and then deployed thelifeboat 'SNS 080 - Notre Dame de Bonsecours' from the Dieppe SNSM station, The shipowner confirmed the presence of two fishermen on board the vessel. The CROSS broadcast a Mayday Relay message in the area. The fishing vessel "M'Alizé" offered its assistance and was engaged by the CROSS to conduct a search of the area. The CROSS also engaged the lifeboat SNS 089 "Cap Fagnet" from the Fécamp SNSM station, the RIB 'SNS 500' from the Saint-Valéry-en-Caux SNSM station, and the patrol boat 'Mavar' as well as a public service helicopter of the 35F French Nav. At noon, the crew of the 'Mavar' located a life raft and rescued the two fishermen aboard The 'Notre Dame de Bonsecours' picked up the castaways for treatment by rescuers and first aid. The CROSS then established a conference call with the Maritime Medical Coordination Unit in Le Havre to assess the victims' condition. The doctor recommended that they should be taken to the dock by a rescue and casualty assistance vehicle (VSAV) from the Service départemental d'incendie et de secours de la Seine-Maritime, once they had been brought ashore by the lifeboat. At 2:30 p.m., they were taken to Dieppe hospital with minor injuries and shock. The 'Tim Bao' had sunk, but no pollution had been detected at this stage.

The "Attila" ran aground on July 1, 2025, at 2.30 p.m. at the east coast of Formentera (Es Pujols) on the shallow Sa Roqueta off the beach of Ses Canyes. The incident has not resulted in any pollution or impacted the posidonia grasslands native to the area. Authorities were coordinating refloating efforts and assessing the extent of damage. The SAR vessel "Salvamar Naos" (MMSI: 225999047) was deployed to assist in refloating the superyacht on July 2. The yacht was refloated with the help of two of the 'Attila's auxiliary boats and by doing some small towing maneuvers, because the tide seemed to have risen. It left the area of ​​Ses Canyes beach shortly before 11:00 a.m.. The maritime authority had required a refloating plan, but the shipowner ignored these instructions and removed the ship without the required safety measures, such as the approval of the International Insurance Company or the performance of an underwater inspection to check if the hull was damaged. The Maritime Captaincy will impose a penalty for failure to comply with the order.

The Stena Line, which owns the Port of Holyhead, has issued a major update on the work to repair a ferry berth damaged during Storm Darragh. The damagehad caused major disruption on the oute between North Wales and Dublin Port, which led to temporary routes connecting Fishguard, Pembroke, and on the existing freight-only Birkenhead (Liverpool) link being opened up for motorists. In January, the ferry port in Wales partially reopened after Terminal 5 was restored to operational activity and saw ferry operations resume. Stena Line has announced a provisional date after the required repairs are completed at Terminal 3, from where Irish Ferries had used. Access to the Terminal 5 ferry berth was successfully restored on an adjusted timetable, allowing ferry operations at Holyhead Port to resume as of Jan 16. Planning is now underway for the necessary repairs and restoration of the Terminal 3 ferry berth, with the current estimate for reopening set for July 1. Work was progressing to ensure that the berth will be returned to full operational capabilities as safely and efficiently as possible.

The 'Excellence Queen', enroute from Nuremberg to Erlangen with 80 passengers and 40 crew members on board,, became stuck under a pedestrians and cyclists bridge over the Main-Danube Canal near Fürth on July 2, 2025, at around 10 p.m. None of the 120 people on board were injured. The allision triggered a major SAR operation involving firefighters, the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW), and water rescue teams. Since it was initially unclear whether anyone had fallen into the water, 70 rescuers searched the shore and the canal using powerful lights. At the same time, the list of passengers and staff on board was checked. Finally, everyone was accounted for. According to initial investigations, the accident occurred because the captain had failed to adjust the height of the ship to the bridge. The Main-Danube Canal was closed to shipping for the duration of the search oepration and accident investigation. About two hours after the alision, the ship, which had suffered damage in the five digit Euro region, was able to continue its journey. Damage was also caused to the bridge. Iinitial estimates put the damage at several tens of thousands of euros. Short past midnight, the shipping on the waterway was possible again. On July 3, the "Fürberger Steg," which connects the two Fürth districts of Unterfürberg and Oberfürberg, was to be checked for stability.

Demolition work on the collapsed Carola bridge in the city of Dresden was suspended on Feb 18, 2025, after new fractures were discovered in the structure, with shipping traffic on the Elbe river also halted again. An installed acoustic emission monitoring system had detected steel fractures in two sections of the bridge that were not directly affected by its partial collapse on Sep 11, 2024,due to stress corrosion cracks caused by moisture in a section of the structure, leading to inland shipping traffic on the affected section of the Elbe being suspended for five months. The authoritieshad only reopened the passage under the bridge in central Dresden for inland commercial shipping three weeks ago, with free passage in a one-way system planned from Feb 18. However, the passage has been completely closed again since that morning after the measuring system installed to permanently monitor the collapsed bridge signalled movement. The authorities were now waiting for an engineering firm to assess whether the bridge will hold and whether ship traffic may be allowed to pass under it. The dredger 'Domarin' was meanwhile working on the fairway.
