One of our valued contributors sent these remarkable
photos to us in early Dec. 2006 -- but they were never
received. Because our contributor took these photos
himself -- this event would have escaped notice had he
not resubmitted the material this month. Hence, this is
the one that almost got away! Whilst
on a voyage from Felixstowe,
England
to Kingston,
Jamaica,
M/V
Jeppesen Maersk
encountered a violent storm approximately 250 miles North
of Tenerife
resulting in the disaster described below. Our
contributor -- who wishes to remain anonymous -- took
these photos as M/V
Jeppesen Maersk
made an unscheduled port call at
Las
Palmas,
Gran
Canaria,
Canary
Islands
in the evening of 25 Nov. 2006. Was
this problem the result of improper lashing securing, bad
weather or both?

M/V Jeppesen Maersk - Unknown Number of Containers Both Overside & Damaged
Kingston, Jamaica Will Have To Wait
But It's 25 Nov. 2006 -- And Christmas May Be A Little Less Bright In Jamaica, Mon
Containers Must Be Discharged & Re-stowed Before M/V Jeppesen Maersk Can Put Back o Sea
Why We Need To Adhere To Lashing Securing Manual Restrictions.
M/V Jeppesen Maersk Waves To Port.
Containers Below, In The Post Side Stack Are Crushed
Other Port Side Containers Have Obviously Been Carried Away
Containers Not Carried Away, Crushed Or Shock Damaged -- May Have Salt Water Damage
Discharge of These Containers Will Require Heavy Tackle
-- To Avoid A Tower of Topple Terror
M/V Jeppesen Maersk Will Continue Her Rotation - Minus Certain Cargo
M/V Jeppesen Maersk Is Almost Lost About 3 Months Later --å14 February 2007At 0420 UTC in the Dover Strait TSS near the MPC Buoy the NE bound LPG Tanker M/T Sigas Centurion and the SW bound container ship M/V Jeppesen Maersk were involved in a very close --near collision.When M/T Sigas Centurion altered course to cross the SW bound lane she was on a collision course with M/V Jeppesen Maersk.
M/T Sigas Centurion only became aware of a developing situation when CNIS called to advise of the danger. The collision was avoided by both vessels taking last minute action
Weather at the time was fair with good visibility.
The Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents instructed the owner of M/V Jeppesen Maersk to advise him of the issues arising from the incident and to praise the actions of their vessel's bridge team in avoiding the collision. Read The Incident Report
Shippers Must Have Quality Marine Cargo Insurance ........ Because......... "Ship Happens! ©"
If We Have Ever Provided A Cautionary Tale In Support of Cargo Insurance -- This Is It!
To Repeat -- No Matter How Careful You Are -- Or Who You Hire ....... "Ship Happens! ©"
"Ship Happens! ©"
The Dedication of This Feature Is Simple: To The Crew of M/V Jeppesen Maersk and her families.
SPECIAL NOTE: The historic dangers of carriage by sea continue to be quite real. Shippers must be encouraged to purchase high quality marine cargo insurance from their freight forwarder or customs broker. It's dangerous out there.

Thanks To Our Contributors For The "The One That Almost Got Away" Feature
Our Contributor for this feature is:Anonymou Contributor Who Has Brouight Us Many Features -- But Must Be Anonymous*The Cargo Letter appreciates the continuing efforts of these valued contributors. Thanks Pal For Your Contributions!
NOTE: Please Provide Us With Your Additional Information For This Loss.
EDITOR'S NOTE FOR SURVEYORS, ATTORNEYS & MARINE ADJUSTERS: The Internet edition effort of The Cargo Letter now celebrates it's 8th Year of Service -- making us quite senior in this segment of the industry. We once estimated container underway losses at about 1,500 per year. Lloyd's put that figure at about 10,000 earlier this year. Quite obviously, the reporting mechanism for these massive losses is not supported by the lines. News of these events is not posted to the maritime community. Our new project is to call upon you -- those handling the claims -- to let us know of each container loss at sea-- in confidentiality. Many of you survey on behalf of cargo interests with no need for confidentiality. Others work for the lines & need to be protected. As a respected Int'l publication, The Cargo Letter enjoys full press privileges & cannot be forced to disclose our sources of information. No successful attempt has ever been made. If a personal notation for your report is desired -- each contributor will be given a "hot link" to your company Website in each & every report. Please take moment & report your "overside" containers to us. If you do not wish attribution, your entry will be "anonymous." This will will benefit our industry -- for obvious reasons! McD
* NOTE: The Cargo Letter wants you to know that by keeping the identity of our contributors 100% Confidential, you are able to view our continuing series of "Cargo Disasters." Our friends send us materials which benefit the industry. The materials are provided to our news publication with complete and enforceable confidentiality for the sender. In turn, we provide these materials to you.
