The cleanup effort aboard the 'MSC Baltic III' has been consistent over the last few weeks. Insurance company representatives have been on site since the beginning. There still isn't an official timeline for when the work will be completed, The fuel was hoped to be removed from the vessel by winter. Likely the vessel will remain at its current location through the winter. There were six priority tanks filled with heavy fuel on board that are almost all removed, but there were still other hydrocarbons that needed to be removed with them. Removing the oil takes time because it has to be heated between 70 C and 80 C so it can be pumped out,That can be hard to achieve with short windows of opportunity to safely board the vessel. The 'EEMS Dublin' is on site, and the work is going more smoothly because it has a walkway. Regarding the tar balls which have been appearing on the shoreline near the grounded vessel. a response organization and Environment Canada have ramped up their shoreline assessments.

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.

An investigation by Florida's Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) found out that the allision of the 'Jean Ribault' with a boardomg ramp, as it was about to depart from Mayport Landing.on May 4, 2025, at 6.30 p.m. LT, was the result of human error. No faults or malfunctions were found in the engines and electronic systems on the ferry in the aftermath of the accident. The vessel was then taken off operations, resulting in a temporary suspension of the St Johns River Ferry service.The JTA said it reopened the service on June 13, two weeks ahead of schedule and after the US Coast Guard inspected the ferry and cleared it to resume operational sailings. The investigation revealed that the captain had attempted to adjust the throttle on one of the ferry's two engines. The captain claimed that the throttle yielded no response to his input even after moving it back and forth. He then adjusted the other engine's throttle to see whether it was also unresponsive, and this action resulted in a reduction in power for that engine. The reduction in power in one engine meant that the counterforce to the propulsion generated by the engine on the opposite end of the ferry was also reduced. The vessel then headed in the opposite direction and ended up striking the ramp. The captain claimed he had previously encountered issues with the ferry's throttle but that the vessel itself was still able to operate on its assigned route,.

More than 300 rescuers resumed the search for survivors of the 'Tunu Pratama Jaya' on July 4 at 8 a.m. Significant resources were deployed to conduct sea and air searches, which have been expanded along the coasts of East Java and West Bali. The operations were coordinated by the Surabaya Search and Rescue Agency. The Ketapang Beach on Java Island was to be searched from north to south. The same applied to Gilimanuk in the far northwest of Bali. By midday however, rescuers had not located any new survivors or victims. As the weather was rainy and cloudy, with waves reaching up to 1.3 meters, a helicopter, two SAR vessels, and four rigid inflatable boats were deployed. Other vessels could potentially participate in the search. A three-year-old boy, the sixth victim, was found dead on the evening of July 3. Waves of 2.5 meters height, accompanied by "strong winds and a strong currents, had initially hampered the rescue operations. According to the ship's manifest, 53 passengers and 12 crew members were on board, but it is not uncommon in Indonesia for the actual number of passengers to differ from the official list. Maritime accidents occur regularly in Indonesia, a vast archipelago of about 17,000 islands, partly due to lax safety standards. The National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) started an investigation into the accident on July 4. One of the initial steps taken was to collect various video recordings circulating on social media that captured the moments when the ship was sinking. The agency will trace the history and issuance process of the sailing permit to determine whether all seaworthiness requirements were met. The Indonesian government formally handed over the bodies of six victims to their relatives on the evening of July 3. Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi offered prayers for the deceased and families who lost their loved ones as he handed over the coffins to the mourners for burial.
