Accident in the Atlantic Ocean

Ship loses containers at sea

by Port News Editorial Staff

The Madrid Bridge,  a containership  operated by Singapore-based Ocean Network Express, lost an as-yet unspecified number of containers in the Atlantic Ocean while on route to New York.

The incident occurred on January 7th . Perhaps the vessel hit a storm which led to  cargo instability and containers falling overboard. However, investigations are still ongoing and information will be provided as soon as possible.

The ship’s owner, K Line, stressed that there aren’t any casualties among crew members and no containers carrying dangerous goods were lost.
