There was a standoff between the government of the semi-autonomous region of Puntland and the federal government of Somalia over the 'Sea World', which was loaded with Turkish weaponry and detained on Juyly 18, 2025 The government of Puntland insisted it was investigating the true ownership of the military hardware on the vessel, rejecting the calls by both the federal government of Somalia and Turkey to release the vessel and its cargo. The federal government in Mogadishu issued a public statement on July 23, saying it “categorically denounces the "hijacking and aggression against the Sea World, demanding the “immediate and unconditional release of the vessel,” while calling the actions of Puntland an “unlawful operation.” Puntland contended that the 'Sea World' was “loitering for two days” off the coast, raising suspicions. It apprehended the vessel, acting on intelligence and fears after a group of young fishermen had already boarded it. After being contacted by Somali traders who claimed ownership of the cargo, it moved the ship to the port of Bossaso for an investigation.

A Russian Iskander missile hit the Odesa port area on July 3, 2025, when dockworkers were unloading metal from a São Tomé and Príncipe-registered cargo ship, shortly after an air-raid warning was issued in Odesa at 12:47 p.m. Minutes later, the Ukrainian Air Force reported a Russian aerial asset approaching the city. Two people, one dock worker and a truck driver, were killed in the attack with the cluster ballistic missile, which is prohibited, Six people, including port employees and two Syrian crew members of the ship, were injuried. Vessel tracking were showing no ships in the Odesa region, but this is not unusual, as vessels are instructed to turn off their AIS when sailing to the Black Sea ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhnyy. 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. These attacks are threatening global food security and have urgently called for an international response. On March 11, 2025, the Barbados-flagged bulk carrier 'MJ Pinar' was struck while loading wheat, resulting in the deaths of four crew members and injuring to others . On March 1, 2025, the Panama-flagged container m/v 'MSC Levante F' suffereed damage from a missile strike, injuring two port workers.

The 'Fortune' has sparked controversy for carrying a cargo of coal destined for ort Hadera. The shipment violates a Colombian government decree banning coal exports to Israel, due to ongoing concerns over Israel's actions in Gaza. The ship had sailed from Colombia on July 24, 2025, with an ETA as of Aug 14. The Colombian government classifies coal as a "dual-use item", which could support military activities, in addition to its civilian use for energy production. Activists claimed that the shipment was breaching the decree issued by the Colombian president in 2024,banning exports of coal to Israel. The Colombian President Gustavo Petro says he would order the Colombian Navy to intercept vessels bound for Israel. The 'Fortune' has not broadcast the vessel's location for the past nine days.

The full reopening of Holyhead has been delayed again the day before it was due to reopen. Two berths at Holyhead, which links north Wales and Dublin, were damaged on Dec 7 during Storm Darragh, affecting thousands of travellers and parcel deliveries over Christmas, as well as businesses in the town. One berth reopened on Jan 15, while the second, Terminal 3, was originally set to reopen on July 1, but was pushed back originally to July 15 and now to July 18. Stena Line, which owns the port, has announced Terminal 3 will reopen on July 19 due to adverse weather conditions delaying the final repairs. Stena Line and Irish Ferries have been currently running from a single berth, rather than the usual two Stena Line and Irish Ferries have been running their regular four daily services from a single berth, rather than the usual two. Traders in Holyhead said they had seen a huge drop in footfall and earnings since the damage to the port.
