Biggest Container Ship Accidents in 21st Century

Spread The Viralist



Each year, more than 100 million containers are shipped across the globe on containerships that can now stretch the length of three soccer fields or more. Despite a large number of containers shipped, accidents are relatively rare, with the best estimates saying that less than 1,500 containers are lost from ships each year on average.

  1. It's a fact that A I is taking over ….. the narrator sounds like a fucking robot – and they never even gave it a number like YR 2010, but instead had the audacity to give it a human name like Diana !!

  2. Squares in water get out electronics have feelings. Where's my ship full of belongings. To provide Intel to customers waiting since 2006 documents near by I'll apprehended

  3. Imagine being 30 year in service and you’ve got a few years left when one day some asshole put a ton of unmarked fire works on board that somehow went off… Jesus.

  4. So now Samsung can’t export their phones now… neither by planes or vessels… they’ll explode anything with their batteries ?

  5. Indian Ocean has more than it's share of ship casualties.
    The MOL Comfort disaster shows that ships have gotten too big and the hulls are made of cheap steel. There is no excuse to break in half just from hogging.

  6. Seems like most of the accidents are caused by something bad happening in the cargo, and if that doesn't kill the crew members right away, they usually get out okay.

    Seems like the shipping companies could save a lot of money (including lower insurance rates) if everyone insisted on proper screening of containers and proper manifest generation before they go on a ship, and then at least weighing the containers(*) as they are loaded to make sure that they are not different from what is declared.

    (*)Preferably gamma ray imaging of most of them, and manual inspection of those declared to have contents not compatible with irradiation. But at least make the loading cranes able to sense and report the weight and compare it to the cargo manifest.

    With the lax security, I'm surprised terrorists haven't yet used containers to deliver destructive payloads, and I would be surprised if smugglers (including drug smugglers) DIDN'T already take advantage of this.

  7. these massive ships are ruining or destroying our oceans and 1 day God will wipe clean the earth and wipe us all out for destroying his planet and will start fresh with human mankind all over again !

  8. Looked up the value of the MOL Comfort loss, between 300 and 400 million dollars, the ship itself 66 million, so just shy of HALF A BILLION DOLLARS. An illustration of much value in goods are being transported on these ships. P.S. loved the info, HATED the voice over. Please, don't do that.
