Following the collision, the 'Mercury Triumph' sustained significant damage, including hull breaches from the bow to the stern, water ingress into the ballast tanks, rendering it disabled and adrift. The 'Cosco Shipping Leo' also incurred damage to its starboard bow, which included dented hull plating and the loss of an anchor. The ULCS had embarked on its trials just two days prior, having departed from Nantong on March 27.
