Rescue operations saw thirty crew members evacuated safely, with divers and helicopters involved in the continued search for the missing person. The ministry has not confirmed if the Anglo-French company Perenco's oil platform sustained any damage or if there was an oil spill into the river following the collision.
Regarding the tragic loss, Peru’s defense ministry expressed deep regret over the impact on the families of the deceased crew members, stating that assistance will be provided to their loved ones as the investigation into the cause of the accident continues. The naval collision took place in a significant area, rich with hydrocarbon resources, and there are ongoing concerns relating to the environmental impact on nearby Indigenous communities and wildlife, which are often vulnerable to oil spills. Peru’s defense officials will be closely monitoring the situation, especially given the area's history of oil-related incidents and the potential ramifications on local ecosystems.
