The 'Don Toyo' was detained by the Argentine authorities in the province of Corrientes on June 27., 2025, at kilometer 1,224 of the Paraná River following a routine inspection by the Coast Guard. The measure was taken by the General Directorate of Customs (DGA) after detecting alleged irregularities in the international cargo documentation. The vessel was anchored upstream of the city of Corrientes.It had sailed from Pilar (Paraguay) bound for the Buenos Aires port of Dock Sud, carrying a total of 399 containers at the time of its interdiction. The ship was seized after a routine inspection carried out by the Argentine Naval Prefecture, which observed the lack of an international cargo manifest validated by Paraguayan Customs. This documentation is required for the movement of goods under international regulations on the Paraguay-Paraná waterway. An evaluation is being made as to whether this was an administrative omission or a more serious violation.

Since April 26, the 'Maisha' with 29 Filipino crew members on board has been idling off the French coast between Saint-Nazaire and Noirmoutier., being subject to sanctions after being Placed on the "Russian Ghost Fleet" blacklist, that prohibited it from docking at a European Union port. The 'Maisha' is suspected of carrying Russian crude oil. On July 2 at 10 p.m., it suddenly restarted its engines after 67 days. The tanker was heading for Willemstad, Curaçao, with an ETA as of July 15. The visit of a French Navy ship on July 2, may have helped resolve the situation. The captain had also been in contact with the maritime prefecture for several days, as well as his company, the Seaserenity Shipping Ltd. The International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) was particularly concerned about the fate of the sailors aboard the tanker, who had not been provided with food or fuel.
