Martin was headed to Quebec City when it stranded in the river. The cause of the grounding had not been disclosed by authorities.

On October 24, the 40 meter long passenger ship Royal Evolution (IMO: 9391191) ran aground in the Red Sea on Adu Dabab Four Reef.  Reports state the vessel’s keel struck the reef and went firmly aground. The passengers and crew remained on board initially as conditions were calm and the vessel was in no danger of sinking.  However, as the tide ebbed, the passengers were safely evacuated and taken ashore.  No reports of injuries.

Reports state the Royal Evolution suffered hull damage with fuel tanks ruptured. Diesel fuel had leaked into the lower decks of the vessel.  Initial attempts to pull the Royal Evolution off the reef failed. The Royal Evolution would remain on the reef for several days before it was refloated on the morning of October 27.  The Royal Evolution would proceed to Port Safaga for repairs.

Egyptian authorities did not disclose if any diesel fuel pollution had been released into the sea. No details if the reef sustained damage from the grounding.

On the early morning of October 22, the 35 meter long fishing vessel Radoche Tercero (IMO: 8968519) suffered water ingress in the Irish Sea some 55 nautical miles southwest of Castletown, Ireland. The flooding, possibly caused by a hull breach, could not be controlled by the vessel’s pumps. The Radoche Tercero sent out a distress call before abandoning ship. The Irish Coast Guard dispatched vessels along with the nearby 36 meter long fishing vessel Puenteareas Uno (IMO: 9194189) responded.  The Puenteareas Uno safely rescued all 12 crew members of the Radoche Tercero and transport them to Castletown. No reports of injuries. Reports on October 22 stated the Radoche Tercero had later sunk.
