The storm hit, and at least 26 containers of the cargo ship fell into the sea...

The storm was strong and the cargo ship was in trouble!

On February 18, a large area of ​​Europe was hit by a strong storm, which not only had a profound impact on people on land, but also on container ships sailing on the sea.

According to foreign media reports, on February 18, a container ship named MARCOS V was on its way from the Port of Bremerhaven in Germany to the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. It may have been hit by the strong storm Younis. A container collapse accident occurred near the North Sea of ​​the Frisian Islands in the Netherlands , causing at least 26 containers to fall into the sea . The loss was reported on the morning of February 19.

The ship is understood to have been sailing south on its way to Rotterdam and has changed its destination at least twice since leaving Bremerhaven on February 13, cruising or anchoring in the North Sea between the UK and the Nordic continent.

The last destination of the cargo ship was Rotterdam, where it was anchored around February 19 after the container fell into the sea and was lost . The Dutch Coast Guard then began searching for the lost container, but had not found it as of the morning of February 19.

The Dutch Coast Guard said on its website on February 19 that so far no 40-foot (12-meter) container from the Panamanian-registered container ship Marcos V , which was lost around the Dutch Wadden Islands , has been found .

It is understood that the MARCOS V container ship where the container fell into the sea is currently serving the Europe-Asia route AE1 of the 2M Alliance , and often calls at Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen Yantian Port in China . However, based on the actual time the freighter has called at domestic ports recently, the goods exported from Chinese ports are very likely to have completed the loading and unloading tasks before the storm.

Sellers and freight forwarders who have recent loading tasks for this cargo ship can also pay attention to the ship's dynamics in a timely manner to learn about the latest shipping delays.
