I mean, the Evergreen Marine Corporation (part of the overall Evergreen Group) IS the 4th or 5th largest shipping company in the world with over 150 container ships so it's to be expected if there's an accident in the shipping world that one of their ships might be involved. Also, their accidents have done good, like when one of their ships, the Ever Laurel, lost a container with 28,800 rubber ducks called Friendly Floatees. The container somehow broke open and the horde of ducks were released into the ocean. This happened in the middle of the Pacific and allowed people to study the currents of the ocean better than they normally could've. Last I knew, they were still being recovered over a decade later as far away as the US Eastern Seaboard.

In 2019, the 395m "MSC Zoe" lost 342 containers in the North Sea, after experiencing fast and heavy rolling for several hours. Much of the cargo washed up on the shores of Dutch and German islands, causing considerable environmental damage. The joint investigation could find no breach of loading regulations. But it suggests that the relevant IMO codes may have not kept up with the development of ultra large container ships and should be updated. In particular, ULCS may be due to their high stiffness, or metacenter height, be particularly prone to short-period rolling, and thereby experience dynamic loads in excess of what the cargo securing mechanisms were designed for.

If you aren't familiar, that is how Evergreen names their fleet. They have something like 200 container ships, and they are generally in certain letter classes, so for example the Ever Given is part of their G-class, which are 11 identical ships with names like Ever Golden, Ever Genius, Ever Gentle, etc. The Ever Smart is part of their S-class, etc. I think the only ships in their fleet that don't use the name scheme are those that were built for other shipping companies and were either bought or leased by Evergreen.

Random spot checks and fines for miss declared weights would help solve a lot of problems. If the fines are big enough you don’t have to check that many containers. Checking 1 in 10 containers with a $1000 fine, no one will care. Check 1 in 1000 containers with $500,000 fine, shippers will up their own checks real fast.

I work in passenger vessels, not cargo, but when I got into the maritime field I did a stint on a container vessel. I was told, when loading, if you MUST fill a stack with containers under those numbers, always order them sequentially. Using the numbers here it should've been, from bottom-top: 9.6, 9.4, 9.3, 9.1, 8.2, 7.4, 4.8, 4.8. that is, of course, if the containers are declared properly. Or weighed prior to loading.

Well, in theory, if you know the efficiency of your crane motor and the friction of the cable drum, you can caluclate the weight of every container just by watching the crane motor's ampere meter. The heavier the container, the more juice the crane will need to lift it. Not sure how well that would work in practice though...

The solution is of course simple, tying containers together not just in stacks but in grids, 2D across stacks or even 3D across rows. But that would mean a lot more work during loading and unloading, and it would be trickier to mix regular and high cube containers.

Not only that, ships crew would have signed the lash plan as checked and done.

The shorter rods should be shown as double lashed and the longer rods at the end usually will have a short extension rod added to it to make it long enough to be lashed. Even with everything lashed correctly the turnbuckles can become loose while in rough seas.

High cubes are ubiquitous and it's hard to see how that could have been the reason. And not only the so called wind lashing you can have double lashing as well, using the holes at the top of the container underneath. It's hard to imagine such fundamental errors for such well understood phenomenon. The loose lashing in other bays could have been due to flexing at sea as they are all supposed to be checked and in my experience always were. I been a member of a lashing crew waiting with the others at the top of the gangway many times, waiting for the mate to sign off that the lashing is completed properly. I 'll have a look at the report. I just had a look at the lashing plan and you can see the double lashing on the fourth tier. Also it seem I was wrong about the wind lashing. I had never seen such a thing. Also corroded twist locks like would not be used where I worked.

The 40 foot high cube is used by shippers because that extra foot allows for bulky items that cannot otherwise fit in a standard 40 foot container. Same thing for high cube railroad boxcars.

Are you going to do a video about the Sea Eagle, once they finish the investigation into what happened?

“It’s a 300 meter long container vessel” the text says it’s 399.99 meters though

"Soooo where's your package?" "It just fell off into the ocean."

The hi cube containers should not have been stacked such that they were over the correct height. The second problem has to do with the incorrectly loaded container weights in the wrong place in the stack. Both of these, in my opinion, contributed to the containers falling off the ship.

I must say, your content is amazing, everything about it is so great. I think you should start a secondhand channel and put everything your intrested in that isnt connected to ships. Or, just make a video about ships everyday, but I imagine the topics will be harder to find. Go strong you can work with this fulltime if you want to ❤️

I am a ship novice. By watching these videos I finally know the difference between port and starboard. So forgive me if the answer to this question is obvious. On the breakdown of the container weights the bottom was supposed to be 30.5 but actually was 9.6. Wouldn't the loading cranes be able to weigh every container? I always assumed that the computers in cranes told the operators the weight of the load. It would seem very dangerous to rely on declared weight when lifting with a crane.

@@yourmum69_420 Show me a reliable computer. I haven't seen one in 20 years.

Ah, something similar to this happened to the Bioincle collection my Mom bought me in 2011 for 20 dollars.

Fell off + ratio + no containers

What is that information app called or is it just edited

Hypothetically, if the containers did not rip off the ship due to improper weight distribution/latch security, would the tilt be enough to capsize the ship? Like would the containers being able to disengage actually help survive a brutal storm?

Hi, Would you please consider doing a video on rogue waves?

I like the story videos!

So, where does the liability lie in a case like this? Is there any liability for the companies that packed their containers heavier than declared? Or is it all on the ship/crew/company?

There are several cargo liability conventions in force but in general shipowners (carriers) are allowed to limit their losses to less than USD 1000/ container. Under US law the package limitation is $500/container. This fundamental aspect of ocean shipping, the right of shipowners to limit liability, dates back to the ancient times.

I have modelled the weight and moment of "jettisonable" stores on aircraft. You gotta be careful! ;)

Lashings? What about the corner connections?

can you do a video why the catamaran boat is not really used on big ships it seems only ferrys and leisure craft

I'm a fan of the Big Crane brand loaders.

What are the chances this would result in a capsize?

I would imagine the cargo would continue to fall into the sea as the vessel continued to list further and then the vessel would naturally right itself. If the cargo didn’t fall of the vessel, though, I’m sure it was entirely possivle

I'm not an expert but I doubt those straps are enough to pull the entire hull, unless hit by a big enough wave and at that point the ship is already compromised either way. If the containers were bolted or soldered as one with the hull however, chances would be higher. But obviously it would make no sense to do that.
