Cargo ship loses 1,816 shipping containers and still has this many shipping containers left on board

Shouldn't there be regulations to secure shipping containers on a ship's deck?

Cargo ship loses 2,000 containers which toppled over during a storm

The container ship, ONE Apus, arrived at the Port of Kobe, Japan, on Tuesday after an eight-day journey from the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

pretty sure they have this figured out and this is an anomaly

 

[Buzz Killington]

it's not like thousands of shipping container vessels ply the seas every day

 

[Buzz Killington]

it's not like tens of millions of containers move around the globe annually

Isn’t this the world’s first and only container ship?

I wonder if they would have to pump ballast in or out to avoid listing.

There are over 5,000 container ships in the world. You would think this would be a standard occurrence if they didn't secure the loads.

Wasn't there a cargo ship some 10 or 20 years ago that had a couple thousand BMW's on the way to Long Beach
And the BMW's fell off the boat or some shit?
