Fortunately, there were no reported casualties, and the operational flow at the terminal remained unaffected. The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) promptly began salvage operations, ensuring the tug was recovered by June 16.

In a heartbreaking incident that occurred on the morning of December 21, 2022, a crew member aboard the MSC Resilient III lost their life in an accident while docked at the port of Bluff. The unfortunate event unfolded shortly after the completion of cargo operations, when the ship's cranes were maneuvered, leading to the deadly mishap. Although the container ship is equipped with its own cranes, the loading and unloading tasks had been performed using cranes operated by local stevedores.
