Here’s something you don’t see everyday. [image] Berthed Containership Loses 67 Boxes Overboard at Port of Long Beach U.S. Coast Guard units and local emergency responders have established a safety zone at Pier G in the Port of Long Beach following a significant container collapse incid…

Similar happened to old APL Belgium in OAK years ago. Stack fell onshore; terminal tractor trailer got lucky by about 10 seconds. As previously stated, if you unlash/unlock everything and then discharge all the way down one cell trying to get a hatch cover off (because the gantry driver is just f…
