From the night of June 20, 2025, to June 21, numerous migrant boat departures were reported to the CROSS Gris-Nez. First, the departure of a boat was reported to the CROSS in the Cayeux-sur-Mer area. The "SNS 708 - Quartier Maître Gilbert Vandenberghe" from the Cayeux-sur-Mer SNSM station was deployed aling with the semi-rigid boat "SNS 7-034 Notre Dame des Sables" from the Berck-sur-Mer SNSM station. The 'Abeille Normandie' took over from the 'SNS 7-034' and monitored the boat. Once on site, the tug launched its RHIB to assist the boat during a migrant boarding phase along the beach. The RHIB rescued one person from the water and delivered him at the beach at Cayeux-sur-Mer. Later on June 20, the CROSS Gris-Nez engaged the 'Minck' to assist another migrant boat that had left from the beach at Hardelot. Once on site, the 'Minck' started monitoring the boat, which was heavily laden and in poor condition. In response to a request for assistance from people on board the boat, the 'Minck' recovered 20 people and continued to monitor the boat, which continued its voyage towards British waters, with the remaining occupants having refused assistance. Once the migrants on board the boat had been taken into care by British assets, the 'Minck' headed for Boulogne-sur-Mer to drop off the 20 people. On the morning of June 21, more migrant boat departures were reported to the cROSS Gris-Nez, starting with a boat from the port of Dunkirk West. The CROSS successively engaged the "SNS 276 - Notre Dame des Flandres" from the Gravelines SNSM station and the 'Oyapock' of the Maritime Gendarmerie and later the 'Ridens' as a relief to monitor the boat. Once on site, the 'Ridens' reported a request for assistance from some of the boat's occupants following an engine damage. During an initial recovery phase, the boat began to break up, and some of its migrants fell into the water. The CROSS Gris-Nez then again engaged the SNS 276,' the 'Oyapock' and an RHIB of the patrol boat 'Flamant' to assist the 'Minck' in recovering the castaways. 38 people were recovered and transferred aboard the 'Minck'. The remaining occupants of the boat were taken into care by British resources. The 'Minck' then headed to the port of Calais, where the rescued people could be taken into care by the land authorities. At the same time, the departure of a boat was reported to the CROSS from the Bay of Wissant. The CROSS deployed the 'Abeille Normandie' to locate it and monitor the boat. Once on site, the tug reported the poor condition of the boat, which was beginning to break up, and launched its two rubber boats, which recovered all 77 people from the boat. The castaways were dropped off at the port of Boulogne-sur-Me, where they were taken into care by the land authorities. In total, during these operations, 136 people were rescued and taken into care by state resources.

The 'Bayesian', covered in mud and algae,,was being held in an upright position near the fishing town of Porticello on the morning of June 20. Pumping out of water was continued before it was fully and finally out of the water and ready for transport. Recovery crews finalised the complex operation to lift it out of the water on June 22. Keeping the vessel completely out of the water, the cranebarge 'Hebolift 10' moved towards the port of Termini Imerese, about 20 kilometres away from Porticello by land, at 1.10 p.m.. The barge docked in Termini Imerese on the early afternoon. From there, it was o be transported and settled in a specially built steel cradle on June 23 and made available for investigators for further examinations to help determine the cause of the sinking. Thermal cameras were being used to check for any potential fuel leaks. There were 18 tons of fuel on board. A Balloon-like kit will be used to lift the mast later, which was cut off on June 17 using a remote-controlled tool and rested on the seabed. This will not start until June 24 or 25. In the interim, the salvors on-site not accompanying the 'Bayesian' to port will be conducting a full sweep of the seabed site for any potential debris. About 70 specialist personnel had been mobilised to Porticello from across Europe to work on the recovery. Inquest proceedings in the UK are looking at the deaths of Mr Lynch and his daughter, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71, who were all British nationals.

The salvors of TMC Marine has slowly brought the 'Bayesian' to the surface over the three days ahead of June 20. The hull has been parbuckled, into an upright position, which gave access to the previously inaccessible starboard side that had been laying directly on the seabed, 50 metres below the surface of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Mediterranean. During this time the vessel has been gradually lifted off the seabed so that additional lifting straps could be placed under the keel. The hull has been continually supported by eight steel lifting straps – four under each of the bow and stern sections – and which are part of a specially designed steel wire lifting arrangement. On June 21 the wreckage was stabilised further in the slings of the 'Hebolift 10'.

On June 21 at 6 p.m. the 'Wan Hai 503' was in pos, 10°12.46'N, 074°39.30'E, approximately 91 nautical miles from the Kerala coast, drifting at a speed of 0.7 knots on a 295° course. The weather at the site remained operationally manageable with north-westerly winds ranging from 24–26 knots. The vessel remained under two secured towlines connected to the 'Offshore Warrior', maintaining position and preventing any drift toward the Indian coast. the fire conditions onboard have improved, though localised smoke emissions persisted. Grey smoke continued to rise from cargo hold areas between Bays 4–9, while light grey smoke was noted at Bay 14 and near Bay 37–39. Grey smoke from the hold area was also visible near Bays 33–35. No flames were visible on either port or starboard sides. Thermal imaging indicated a general decline in temperatures across the vessel. The hottest zones were recorded around Frame 123 (Bay 33) with a temperature of 55°C, and Bay 35 at 48°C, while areas such as Bay 39–50 now register ambient heat levels (32–36°C), suggesting that the fire has been largely suppressed. Firefighting, boundary cooling, and fire watch were being carried out in rotation by the 'Saksham', 'Water Lily', 'Saroja Blessing' and the 'Boka Winger'. At 2.06 p.m., three personnel, a Salvage Master and two professional firefighters, boarded the casualty to conduct onboard inspections. Notably, ingress of water has been identified in the engine room, with estimated water levels of approximately 10 metres. The emergency generator appeared unaffected and could be repurposed to power internal systems. Two Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units have also been transferred to the casualty via the 'Water Lily' for safe entry into restricted spaces. The second tow rope—measuring 96 mm—was successfully connected to the casualty on 20 June, and the previously chafed rope from the 'Boka Winger' has been replaced. The 'Saroja Blessing' continued to serve dual functions: boundary cooling and onboard deployment logistics, including thermal imaging surveys. Meanwhile, the 'SCI Panna' remained on standby and (may not be used for the operation at all, and the tug 'Virgo' was en route from the UAE, expected to arrive within five days. Two portable generators were being prepared for installation onboard the casualty to restore basic onboard power to assist in the recovery of the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR), cargo hold ventilation, and deck lighting. The VDR has been retrieved and transferred to the 'Offshore Warrior' but awaits formal handover to MMD Kochi for investigation and data extraction. All coordination for the VDR transfer and documentation was underway with the Directorate and Kochi authorities. Shoreline monitoring continued under MERC and ITOPF. No new debris or drifting containers have been reported along the Kerala coast. On June 22 az 6 p.m. the casualty was in position 10°00.67'N, 075°06.78'E, approximately 70 nautical miles off the Indian coast, drifting at a course of 225° with a speed of 1.3 knots. The weather at the site remained challenging with moderate to rough seas, squalls, and westerly winds ranging from 14 to 16 knots. The fire activity onboard remaiedactive but localised. Bay 14 has witnessed a reignition with visible black smoke, while light grey smoke continued to be emitted from Bays 4–9 and 37–39. Firefighting efforts were ongoing with rotation between the 'Boka Winger', 'Saksham', 'Saroja Blessing' and 'Water Lily' as required. Boundary cooling has resumed and thermal imaging has been deployed to monitor evolving hotspots. The engine room continued to show signs of water ingress with the aft draft having increased by approximately 30 centimeters. Draft readings currently stood at 11.0 m (Forward Port), 10.8 m (Forward Starboard), and 12.6 m midships, indicating hydrostatic balance at midsection but growing concern at the aft. A diving operation was scheduled for June 23 to locate the source of the flooding and examine any hull breach or ducting damage. T&T has also been directed to deploy submersible pumps and assess the status of the emergency generator and the main switchboard. While the emergency generator appeared unaffected, its use remained pending proper testing. Additional firefighting supplies, including Pyrocool, were in transit aboard the 'Virgo', currently en route to Fujairah. A contingency plan was under review to tow the vessel 200 miles away from the Indian coastline. The final decision will be based on the salvor’s submission, diving results, and engine room stability. The scheduled Port of Refuge visit to Hambantota on June 24 remained on track, contingent on clearances and environmental safety protocols. All stakeholders have been instructed to finalise route options, taking into account weather windows, firefighting status, and structural integrity. Should the casualty show signs of worsening stability, emergency relocation will be executed without delay. The Directorate General of Shipping continued to oversee and coordinate all inter-agency efforts to ensure the safe management of the incident and protection of India’s maritime environment and coastline.

The RHIB rescued one person from the water and delivered him at the beach at Cayeux-sur-Mer. Later on June 20, the CROSS Gris-Nez engaged the 'Minck' to assist another migrant boat that had left from the beach at Hardelot. Once on site, the 'Minck' started monitoring the boat, which was heavily laden and in poor condition. In response to a request for assistance from people on board the boat, the 'Minck' recovered 20 people and continued to monitor the boat, which continued its voyage towards British waters, with the remaining occupants having refused assistance. Once the migrants on board the boat had been taken into care by British assets, the 'Minck' headed for Boulogne-sur-Mer to drop off the 20 people. On the morning of June 21, more migrant boat departures were reported to the cROSS Gris-Nez, starting with a boat from the port of Dunkirk West. The CROSS successively engaged the "SNS 276 - Notre Dame des Flandres" from the Gravelines SNSM station and the 'Oyapock' of the Maritime Gendarmerie and later the 'Ridens' as a relief to monitor the boat. Once on site, the 'Ridens' reported a request for assistance from some of the boat's occupants following an engine damage. During an initial recovery phase, the boat began to break up, and some of its migrants fell into the water. The CROSS Gris-Nez then again engaged the SNS 276,' the 'Oyapock' and an RHIB of the patrol boat 'Flamant' to assist the 'Minck' in recovering the castaways. 38 people were recovered and transferred aboard the 'Minck'. The remaining occupants of the boat were taken into care by British resources. The 'Minck' then headed to the port of Calais, where the rescued people could be taken into care by the land authorities. At the same time, the departure of a boat was reported to the CROSS from the Bay of Wissant. The CROSS deployed the 'Abeille Normandie' to locate it and monitor the boat. Once on site, the tug reported the poor condition of the boat, which was beginning to break up, and launched its two rubber boats, which recovered all 77 people from the boat. The castaways were dropped off at the port of Boulogne-sur-Me, where they were taken into care by the land authorities. In total, during these operations, 136 people were rescued and taken into care by state resources.

On June 21, a temporary repair has been carried out at the bow visor of the 'Hebrides', serving on the route Uig-Tarbert-Lochmaddy. Until July 2, contractors were to attend the ferry to conduct further inspections, starting on July1 and 2. An amended timetable will continue to operate up to and including July 2.

The 9,15-m-trimaran 'Avanza' (MMSI: 228034820) belonging to the German solo sailor Rüdiger Schwarz capsized on the late afternoon of June 22, 2025, in the German-Danish border region northeast of the island of Rügen. The EPIRB signal of the Seacat 30 alerted the sea rescuers via satellite. The (MRCC in Bremen of the DGzRS, coordinated the SAR efforts closely with their Danish and Swedish counterparts, who had also received the automatic distress call. The MRCC Bremen requested the "Deneb", which was sailing near the accident site, to divert to the position indicated by the distress beacon. The "Deneb" located the capsized 'Avanza', and rescued the skipper from the upturned bottom with a dinghy. A Danish SAR helicopter then hoisted him aboard and flew him to Roskilde for medical treatment. The solo sailor, along with more than 70 other boats, was sailing from the Bay of Wismar to northern Sweden as part of the "MidsummerSail" regatta, when the trimaran capsized about halfway between the northern tip of Rügen and Bornholm. The rescue team informed the traffic control center of the capsized trimaran's position.
