The ' Fjordcharter Adventure' got stuck on a sandbank at Nordfjordeid in Vestland County on April 29, 2025, at 6 p.m. The company that owns the catamaran believed that the side propellers of the cruise ship 'Aidnova' pushed the catamaran onto the sandbank. No one was injured. The catamaran was not damaged either and waiting for the tide to return so that they can get off the sandbank. The catamaran was towed off the sandbank by a small vessel after a few hours. There were no passengers on board the catamaran, only crew.

Houston
On April 22, 2025,at 4 p.m. a gas leak on a barge on the Houston Ship Channel prompted community alerts. but no air quality threats have been detected. A vapor release occurred aboard a barge of the Kirby Inland Marine at the Targa Resources dock in Galena, Greater Houston, at the at 12510 American Petroleum Road. The leak released an unspecified quantity of butadiene, an industrial gas used for making plastics and synthetic rubber (like car tires). 1,3-butadiene is an EPA-listed carcinogen, an inhalation irritant, and highly flammable, but breaks down quickly in the atmosphere, limiting the time in which it can have an effect. The leak occurred because of a broken valve. It was contained at 10 p.m., and the barge was towed to a safe location belonging to the Kirby Inland Marine for further evaluations. The Targa Resources dock on the Houston Ship Channel has reopened to full service by the U.S. Coast Guard on April 23 at 3 a.-m. No injuries were reported from the gas leak.
