The 'European Causeway’ suffered a technical failure on April 5, 2025. She has a problem with her starboard rudder. After repairs, she started a trial in the afternoon, but had to return to Larne and berthed stern in. As of April 8, the work continued to try and sort the issue out.

On the morning of April 4, 2025, the INS 'Trikand', operating in the Central Arabian Sea, provided urgent critical medical assistance to a Pakistani crew member of the fshing vessel 'Al Omeedi', which was operating approximately 350 nautical miles east of the Oman coast. The man had suffered severe injuries involving multiple fractures and blood loss. The ship intercepted a distress call from the Iranian dhow Al Omeedi, after the man had sustained severe injuries to his fingers while working on the engine and was in critical condition. He had been transferred to another dhow, the 'Abdul Rehman Hanzia', which was en route to Iran. The ' Trikand' immediately altered course to provide medical assistance to the victim. The crew of the 'Abdul Rehman Hanzia' consisted of 11 Pakistani and Iranian nationals. The Medical Officer of the 'Trikand', along with a team comprising MARCOS (Marine Commandos) and the boarding team, boarded the vessel to administer aid. After providing local anesthesia, the medical team performed suturing and splinting on the injured fingers. The surgical procedure which lasted for over three hours, was successfully completed, and bleeding was controlled in time, thereby preventing potential permanent loss of the injured fingers due to gangrene. Additionally, medical supplies, including antibiotics, were provided to the vessel to ensure the crew's well-being until they reached Iran.

On March 2, 2025, the port authorities in Hamburg responded to a major oil spill in Kattwyk Port, after a significant leak was reported. 42,000 liters of an oil-water mixture leaked into the Elbe river from a heavy oil tank at the Green Port, a company specializing in petroleum residue management. The spill contaminated more than 90,000 cubic meters of water. The firefighters, water police, and environmental authorities deployed floating oil barriers to prevent its further spread. Aslo a water-air barrier was activated to stop the pollution from reaching the Elbe’s main current. A police aircraft equipped with special cameras was also monitoring the situation.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company was working to restore the 'Manannan' to full power after a problem with one of its engines was discovered on April 5, 2025. The vessel had just returned to service on the Liverpool, Belfast and Dublin routes following its routine winter overhaul. during a crossing on April 5, an issue with the control system on one of its four main engines was detected. For safety reasons, the engine had to be shut down. Since then, the crew and engineering team, alongside representatives from the control system’s manufacturer, have been carrying out round-the-clock tests to identify and resolve the fault.

A new hypothesis that could explain what happened to the "Bruma" emerged on April 6 amid the search efforts for the seven fishermen who disappeared a week ago off the coast of Coronel, in the Biobío Region. Echo sounders on codfish fishing boats detected an abnormality on the seafloor, which could indicate that the "Bruma" had been dragged after allegedly colliding with the vessel "Cobra." This hypothesis arose after 27 square kilometers of underwater soil were inspected during the weekend using two sonars that complement the search efforts led by the Navy. However, nothing was found. The idea came from the fishermen themselves when inspecting the echo sounders in the area. The Navy was to decide on April 7 whether to extend the search for another seven days. If it does, the maneuvers will face adverse weather conditions, as rough seas and bad weather are forecast for the area.

In Rostock, the fire brigade was called to the site of the crane manufacturer Liebherr in the overseas port on the evening of Feb 26, 2025. Parts of a control station and attachments of a crane used to transport bulk goods were on fire. Since the fire was several meters high, extinguishing the flames was challenging. After the power supply was switched off, the fire in the crane driver's cabin was fought with a pipe. The fire brigade's quick intervention prevented the fire from spreading further. There were no injuries during the operation. 40 members of fire and rescue stations 2 and 3 and the Gehlsdorf volunteer fire brigade were on duty. It was assumed that a technical defect had caused the fire. The extent of the damage was still unclear. Investigations were ongoing. The material damage was estimated to be around 100,000 euros.

The 'Stena Nordica', serving on the route from Fishguard to Rosslare, suffered an engine problem on April 5, 2025, and was unable to depart Fishguard, when the 2:00 p.m. sailing had to be cancelled. As a result, the evening return trip from Rosslare was also scrapped. Stena Line advised affected passengers that they could rebook or divert to the Holyhead to Dublin route. Some opted to remain on board the 'Stena Nordica' in the hope that the vessel would sail at 1:30 a.m. on April 6) but that service was also cancelled. Also the afternoon sailing on the St. George's Channel route was 'in doubt. The ferry operator subsequently announced that this had been cancelled, together with the return service from Rosslare Europort on the evening of April 7. The next scheduled service for the 'Stena Nordica' was on April 8 at 01.30 a.m. from Fishguard and Rosslare, which has a scheduled sailing time of four hours.

The 'Tervel' was disabled due to a damage to a cylinder of the propulsion engine on April 3. After a tow lasting nearly 24 hours, has arrived safely in Brest on the evening of April 4, 2025. The emergency tug 'Abeille Horizon', which had picked the bulk carrier up in the southwest off the tip of Brittany, handed it over to port tugs, which brought the ship to repair dock number 3.

The damaged and failing Carola Bridge briefly shut down inland shipping on the Elbe at Dresden on the night of Feb 26, the second time in five months that barge traffic has been halted by the risk of falling concrete and steel. On Sep 11, 2024, at about 3 a.m., two spans of the Carola Bridge had collapsed. A light-rail train had just gone by, but it was past and clear of the span, and no one was injured in the collapse. The bridge was one of four main crossings of the Elbe in downtown Dresden, and the loss of the span has been disruptive for businesses and for shipping interests, which use the Elbe to access upriver regions as far as the Czech Republic. The bridge was built 1967-71. It had been inspected properly and passed all routine exams. A post-accident study by the Institute of Concrete Structures at TU Dresden determined that the collapse was caused by hydrogen-induced stress corrosion of the bridge's steel components. This form of corrosion is nearly impossible to detect with conventional methods, the study concluded, as it affects steel elements that are hidden from view. The waterway was shut for four months for demolition and removal, a task made more challenging by the discovery of WWII-era bombs at the demolition site. Later testing revealed that the cause was hydrogen-induced stress corrosion. The surviving bridge spans have similar corrosion problems, and the surviving bridge spans will have to be completely demolished and rebuilt. To ensure safety of navigation in the interim, the city has installed acoustic monitoring systems. Every time the temperature fluctuates, it exerts stress on the surviving steel cables and raises the risk of another critical failure. The city has hired a contractor to complete the demolition of the rest of the bridge on an expedited basis, in hopes of finishing the job by the end of 2025. For now, ships are free to pass through during a limited two-hour slot from 9-11 a.m. each day. They must pre-register, and only necessary crew may be on board during the transit.
