ONE Apus Arrives in Kobe, Revealing Cargo Loss of Epic Proportions
The containership ONE Apus arrived at the Port of Kobe, Japan on Tuesday after its eight-day trek from the middle of Pacific Ocean where it lost nearly 2,000 containers during a storm.
“Chidori Ship Holding LLC as owners and NYK Shipmanagement Pte Ltd as managers of the container vessel ONE Apus (IMO# 9806079) can confirm that the ship is now safely berthed in the Port of Kobe after losing 1,816 containers overboard when it encountered severe weather on Monday, November 30, 2020,” the latest update said.
Calm weather but the ship faced up to 16 meter tall waves. That pencils out to 52.5 feet in height. Yowser! Two photos:
Ho. Li. Crap - that must have been a wild ride. Ship is OK, no lives lost. Still - bet there were not that many people showing up for dinner. I have only been seasick once in my life but I bet that would have been the second had I been aboard. Full coverage here: ONE Apus Cargo Loss
