The MV ONE Apus sailed into Japan’s Osaka Bay on Tuesday giving us a first good view of the devastation on board the ship after it lost nearly 2,000 containers in a Pacific Ocean storm.
The ship arrived at Rokk? Island at the Port of Kobe on Tuesday morning, AIS ship tracking showed.
We’re also getting a better idea today of the hazardous cargo lost from the vessel. An update Monday from the ship’s owners and managers confirmed the contents of the 64 Dangerous Goods containers, which were among more the 1,816 containers lost or damaged after the vessel encountered heavy weather on November 30 as it sailed from Asia to the U.S. West Coast.
According to the update, 54 of the Dangerous Goods containers carried fireworks, eight held batteries and two contained liquid ethanol.
To date, there have been no sightings of containers in the water.
The ONE Apus was underway to from Yantian, China to Long Beach, California when encountered severe weather approximately 1,600 nautical miles northwest of Hawaii. Heavy rolling caused approximately 1,816 containers to become dislodged.
