OOPS

[modelman093]

As oops go this is a Big’un, 1800 containers overboard or damaged!

Container ship size, ONE Apus and Pacific Ocean

Winter in the North Pacific is not a place for the faint-hearted, but the scene of devastation aboard the ONE Apus is the perfect illustration

At the top?

It looks like a hell of a mess and a lot of people will have lost a lot of things

issue with that is ... container handling port is set up for picking containers flat and level ..... gonna need some sort of craneage to handle supposedly 20+t containers at weird angles, some of which are going to be a hell of a long way from the quayside .. and someone is going to have to sling them all ... what a nightmare ... will tie up a port berth for weeks ... and that's just to get 'em off ...WTF do you do with all the damaged/bent/buggered boxes once quayside plus all of their contents ???? ...... logistical nightmare

Sactly! Imagine the Rams 1816 overboard gunna be some lucky folk somewhere opening them up

I'm sure I've seen a video of the container grabs they use with a 10ft chain hung from each corner for picking containers that arnt flat but it's still going to take a while and be a nightmare to sling

54 of those containers 'lost' were full of fireworks :-(

Is that a 2,5t or 3t machine at the back

its ether a 61-3 or 71-3 so ether 2.6 ton or 3 ton

Tbf either way that's not the worst I've seen on one of those Tri axle ifors
I saw a Hilux go down the road last year with a 3.5t machine on metal tracks with 6 buckets and breaker
A pair of the big traffic lights at over 100kgs each and full set of sighns and sand bags for said traffic lights
The machine was loaded so far back to fit everything Infront of it that the Hilux back wheels where barely touching the ground I'm sure it must of been in 4x4 to even move

Pretty normal round here...but highlights the fact that a 3.5t van can hardly carry a sack of spuds and wagons are deemed a right "faff" so trailers rock!

Another issue is that the ones that have gone overboard tend to float about semi submerged; just waiting to tear the bottom out of a small vessel and spoil the day of a round the world sailor - not good.
