The National Transport Shipping Board has determined that a loose pipe fitting caused the engine room fire and blackout aboard the 'President Eisenhower' off California on April 27, 2021. The second engineer had installed a new section of steel tubing for the fuel oil return for the main engine, replacing a section that had developed a pinhole leak on April 26. The next day, at 7 p.m. the vessel departed the Port of Los Angeles for Oakland via the Santa Barbara Channel. After ramping up the engine load program for the transit, the first and second engineers completed a walkaround. All looked good, and at 12.53 a.m. they left the engine room for the night. At 01.54 a.m. an AB on the bridge wing noticed smoke coming from an engine room hatch. At about the same time, a fire alarm activated for the engine room. Looking at the CCTV monitor for the space, the captain and third mate confirmed that there was an active engine room fire in progress. The crew followed procedure, shutting down ventilation systems, closing fuel supply valves, switching to the emergency generator, and suiting up firefighting teams. As a first attempt, the crew sent in an attack team with a hose to try and quell the fire, but they quickly determined that it was"too much to fight and retreated. The captain ordered all ventilation hatches to the space closed and the fixed firefighting CO2 system activated. This was completed at about 02.23 a.m. After flooding the space with CO2, they allowed the fire-affected areas to cool throughout the morning to ensure that there would be no reflash. The fire left the vessel without propulsion, and as the day progressed, the 'President Eisenhower' drifted closer to shore. A tug arrived on scene at about 2 p.m. and helped move the stricken ship further out into the channel; at her closest approach to land, she was about 3.5 miles from shore. A marine firefighting team came aboard and helped the crew verify that the blaze was fully extinguished, and the ship was towed back to the Port of Los Angeles for repairs. In a post-casualty examination, investigators found that a compression fitting on the end of the tubing had come fully disconnected, resulting in a spray of diesel fuel. Footage from the vessel's camera system showed that the diesel spray began fully 30 minutes before the fire started. The diesel hit an uninsulated exhaust system component, sparking a blaze. The NTSB concluded that the improperly-installed compression fitting and the uninsulated exhaust system component were the probable causes of the fire. It added that the fitting's failure might not have resulted in a fire if the vessel had had a rapid oil leak detection system, which could have spotted the fuel spray and sounded an alarm before it ignited.

The 'Cariberia' suffered a loss of power in vicinity 55 18 00.0 N 14 18 00.0 W, 175 nautical miles northwest of Downpatrick Head in the morning of May 21, 2022. The MRCC Dublin received a request for assistance in locating the yacht which was taking part in the OSTAR Transatlantic race from Plymouth, UK, to Newport Rhode Island with one person on board. A search was initiated, which involved the Sligo-based R118 and a UK Coastguard fixed-wing aircraft,. The yacht was located 40 miles off the Mayo coast on May 22 and towed into Clare Island by the lifeboat of the RNLI station in Achill on May 23 at 9 a.m. Report with photo: https://www.afloat.ie/safety/coastguard/item/54691-irish-coast-guard-says-fixed-wing-aircraft-in-solo-sailor-search-tasked-by-british-authorities

The Japan Coast Guard plans to restart the salvage operation of the sunken tour boat 'Kazu I' on May 26, after the vessel dropped even deeper into the sea during the first attempt. The operation team lifted the wreck up to near the water’s surface from the sea bottom, about 120 meters deep, off Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido on May 23. But the boat dropped to the ocean floor at a depth of about 180 meters on May 24 while it was being towed by the 'Kaishin' to a shallower area off Shari Port in Hokkaido. It was planned to be hoisted completely out of the water in the late afternoon that day. The first attempt failed when two of the five nylon belts holding the Kazu I up buckled. They apparently snapped after they became worn from rubbing against the boat, according to the Coast Guard. A ROV, which was deployed to search the interior of the 'Kazu I', is equipped with high-performance arms that can reattach the belts to the boat. The ROV found the wreck lying upright on the ocean floor about 11 kilometers west of Utoro Port. The boat appears to have not suffered serious damage from the drop. The Coast Guard plans to again wrap belts around the 'Kazu I' on May 25 and then raise it from the seabed the next day. The boat would then be moved to waters off Utoro Port in Shari before being lifted onto the barge.
