While en route to its next port call, the 14,000 TEU “ONE AQUILA” containership experienced a container loss due to the bad weather off the US coast.
In fact, at the time of the incident, the vessel was heading to Port of Long Beach.
For the records, the New Panamax containership is operated by Singapore-based Ocean Network Express (ONE) and deployed in Hapag-Lloyed’s Pacific South Loop 7 (PS7) service.
In light of the situation, Hapag-Lloyd informed:
According to our partner ONE, who is the operator of the good vessel, a limited number of containers are affected by this incident. Considering the terminal congestion expected in the California ports the vessel is expected to be significantly delayed and a schedule recovery plan will be shared once available.
Speaking about container loss incidents, the Swedish Club issued a report to provide an overview of statistics, as well as advice on preventing such losses.
