On Feb 6 it was stated that the 'Bayesian' would be recovered after its mast was dismantled. The salvage operation is expected to start around the middle of April from a water depth around 50 meters. The Italian prosecutors and Coastguard selected a project for recovery led by TMC Marine Consultants Ltd. This involves removing the mast of 72 metres lenght from the water, separately from the rest the vessel. Other salvage plans that involved turning the 55.9 metre yacht, weighing 534 tons, nearly 90 degrees on seabed, without dismantling the mast, were rejected due to their complexity. Three crew members are still under investigation by prosecutors in Termini Imerese near Palermo: Captain James Cutfield and ship engineer Tim Parker Eaton. The suspects are suspected of manslaughter, and they may have caused a shipwreck. The investigation would not be complete until the wreck was removed from the water, according to the prosecutors. After the 'Bayesian' is raised and repositioned on the seabed, it will be transported to Palermo, which is about 8.4 nautical mile away, to investigate what caused the accident and to recover any sensitive information on board.

The 'Loch Alainn'. serving on the route Ardmhor-Eriskay, suffered a technical issue on the morning of Feb 6, 2025, which required further investigations and repairs. As a consequence, the scheduledd departures from Barra at 05:20 a.m., 07:15 a.m. and 09:15 a.m. and from Eriskay at 06:10 a.m.,, 08:10 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. had to be cancelled, while troubleshooting was underway. After the repairs have been completed successfully, the sailings from Barra at 09:15 a.m. and from Eriskay at 10:10 a.m. were reinstade.

After the 'Deala' ran aground on April 16, 2024, at 7.30 p.m. with 15 Egyptian crew members on board, near the port of Raša in southeastern Istria, the African owner has renounced ownership of the wreck, and since then it has been disintegrating approximately 40 meters from the shore and at a water depth between two and five meters. Local residents and biologists fear an environmental catastrophe in the Natura 2000 protected area. The ship was to be salvaged within 30 days, according to the responsible Ministry for Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure, but the owner has abandoned his ship, and the cost of salvaging it, which were estimated at three million euros, will probably be charged to the Croatian taxpayer. Divers discovered in April that the engine room had been flooded three meters high by a leak. On Feb 5, 2025, local politicians turned to the public, after a new damage has occurred on the ship. The residents of the municipalities of Raša, Marčana and Barban, which share the Raška Bay, have been waiting for a response from the relevant authorities, i.e. the ministry, for ten months, stated the president of the Association of Municipalities Dalibor Paus during a press conference in Krnica, supported by Neven Iveša, a biologist at the Faculty of Natural Sciences in Pula, who emphasized that the Raša Bay is protected as a Natura 2000 area. Some measures have been taken to remove waste water and fuel, but due to the deterioration of the ship, other dangerous substances may be released into the environment, warned the biologist, who is critical of alleged plans by the ministry to tow the ship to Turkey because Croatia is technically unable to salvage ships of this size. He suggested the wreck should be dismantled on site with the involvement of local companies.

On Feb 5, 2025, the 'Siempre Esmeralda' suffered propulsion problems after having caught a piece of plastic in the bottom intake about nine nautical miles north of Tina Menor The crew requested assistance, and the CCS Gijón of Salvamento Marítimo mobilized the SAR boat 'Salvamar Castor' to the casualty. The cutter was taken in tow and pulled to the port of San Vicente de la Barquera.

Early on Feb 5, 2025, the Sommen', en route from Aveiro to Avedøre, got stuck twice during the wastbound transit of the Kiel Canal. The first accident was at Oldenbüttel, where the ship ran into in the southern embankment at canal kilometer 40 at 2.08 a.m. The allision damaged the dolphin 5, but the ship was able to free itself. A sailing ban was initially imposed. Once the electronic problem, which was identified as the cause, had been remedied, the ship was able to continue towards Kiel. Only 27 kilometers further, just ahead of the Rade Canal Bridge, the ship then suffered an engine failure and ran into the southern embankmen at canal kilometre 67,3 at 6.05 a.m., getting stuck in pos. 54° 20' N 009° 43' E, near the municipality of Schacht-Audorf. The Kiel Canal traffic control center prohibited the vessel from continuing its voyage unassisted, and the tug 'Parat' (IMO: 8128212 ) was called from Kiel. Also the SFK-tug 'Holtenau' (IMO: 8200321) was sent to the accident site from Kiel on the foremidday and reached the casulaty at around 10 a.m. Other ships could pass the accident site with caution as the 'Sommen' was stuck outside the fairway. At 11.15 a.m. the tugs pulled the 'Sommen' off and towed it to Kiel with the 'Parat' as steering tug at the stern, where it was berthed at the Voith Quay in the North Port for investigations at 1 p.m. UTC. It continued its voyage on Feb 6 at 3.30 a.m. UTC. Report with photo: https://www.shz.de/lokales/rendsburg/artikel/nord-ostsee-kanal-in-rendsburg-frachter-faehrt-zweimal-in-boeschung-48316711
