The 'Princesse Jessica' capsized and sak. There were two mechanics and a cook on board. All the three crew members escaped unharmed. The port authorities launched investigations to determine the precise causes of the accident. The port teams intervened quickly to secure the scene and set up beacons, in accordance with regulatory procedures. The incident did not affect the normal port activities. Measures were underway to refloat the damaged ship.

A Ukrainian crew member of the 'Zografia' was found hanged in his cabin on the ship on March 27, 2024. It was unclear if the apparent suicide was linked to missile hit in the Red Sea two months ago.
