MSC loses containers in storm off Portugal

A container ship operated by MSC lost several containers during a storm while sailing in the Atlantic Ocean off Portugal.
The Portuguese-flagged MSC Houston V, with a capacity of 4,432 TEUs, was en route from Piraeus, Greece, to Liverpool, England, when it encountered rough seas and winds gusting up to 48 knots due to Storm Martinho as it passed near Cape St. Vincent.
At least 15 containers fell into the sea when the ship's stack partially collapsed, with many others damaged or hanging on the starboard side.
The 266-meter-long ship, built in 2010, was forced to make an emergency stop in the port of Vigo, Spain. The ship is currently docked at Termavi, where port authorities are working on plans to safely remove or handle the containers.
The port authority said the cranes have been removed from the area and that mobile cranes will be deployed to ensure the safety of the port and stevedores during the handling process.
“At this time, it is unknown how long the operation will last. Safety plans and logistics are currently being worked on. The important thing is that the ship is in port and there is no risk to navigation, and especially to fishing vessels due to the vessel’s size,” said Carlos Botana, president of the Vigo Port Authority.
