About 800 bulls were killed after being blocked for two weeks at the port of Algiers and sent back to France, in the country of origin due to misunderstandings about animal health records. The animals were Loaded and crammed on the 'Nader-A' after the arrival in the port of Sète on Aug 29, 2022. The ship left the port on Sep 2 en route to Algiers where it arrived on Sep 5. However, due to misunderstandings about the health documents, they were stuck on the vessel for 15 days before being returned to Sète on Sep 23 and killed. Some bulls reportedly lacked certification for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), a highly contagious herpes virus infection. The dock workers would therefore have refused to disembark the bulls, having received specific orders on the matter. In the meantime, some highly stressed animals had already lost their lives during the journey. The French association Welfarm denounces the situation. After three bulls were found to be "unfit for transport" and culled the remaining cattle were also killed. Having been fed with fodder from a country where foot-and-mouth disease is present, their bodies were incinerated to ward off any contamination. The 'Nader-A' remained anchored off Sète since Sep 24.

The Paris MoU organization detained a livestock carrier in Midia, Romania, on April 29, 2017. The vessel in question is Youzarsif-H and flies the flag of Togo, which is black on the current Paris MoU White, Grey and Black (WGB) list. The 2,282 gross ton livestock carrier is the third ship to be detained in the Paris MoU region in the last 36 months. Following its arrest, the 1977-built Youzarsif-H will be refused further access to any port and anchorage in the Paris MOU region, except a port and anchorage of the ship’s flag state.

Russia has dispatched special teams and two salvage ships to Istanbul to raise equipment of the "Liman" that sank off Turkey’s Black Sea coast on April 27 after colliding with the "Youzarsif H" 29 kilometers off of Kilyos. The ship had an advanced Don radar system and Bronze hydro-acoustic system. The Russian Navy sent one of its most advanced search and rescue ships, the "Seliger", as well as a new-generation rescue ship, the "SB-739". The teams consisting of 16 naval personnel, nine specialists and a deep-water dive team would work to retrieve sensitive devices from the wreckage of the ship. If necessary, the whole ship could be salvaged from the 90 meters deep bottom, however, the climatic conditions in the Black Sea could present difficulties to the personnel, and it seemed rather unlikely regarding age and size of the vessel. Russia has search and rescue rights because the ship sank in international waters. The Turkish authorities had not received any requests for assistance from Moscow. The collision was caused by fog and low visibility. The "Youzarsif H." immediately proceeded to back to Romania after the incident out of concern for the health condition of the animals onboard. It berthed at Capu Midia on Apr 28.
