1900 CONTAINERS DAMAGED, BAD NEWS FROM the container vessel--ONE Apus

The vessel ONE APUS was on passage from Yantian, China to Long Beach, USA approximately 1600NM North West of Hawaii, when it encountered a violent storm cell producing gale-force winds and large swells which caused the ONE APUS to roll heavily resulting in the dislodging of the lost containers.

The number of lost or damaged containers exceeds 1900,including 40 containers with hazardous products inside.

At present, the focus is delivering the shipment to port safely and ensure the safety of the crew, vessel and cargo. The full investigation of the incident will be carried out subsequently in conjunction with the flag State and relevant maritime authorities.
