The incident took place near Japan on February 17th, 2021, while the boxship was en route from Xiamen, China, to Los Angeles, California.
“The preliminary advice from the vessel operator suggests that several hundred containers have been lost overboard, although we have not yet been informed whether any MSC customer cargo was impacted,” MSC, Maersk’s 2M partner, said.
Maersk said that all crew members have been reported to be safe and the ship’s propulsion has been restored.
