Guys theres something really wrong here.
I'm a sailor and also a containership planner,
look at the picture 9 on the following link
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/6284377.stmTheres no way that the ship would lose whole Deck stacks like that if the twistlocks and the lashing bars are properly done.
I personally think that the base lock on the hatch cover were not lock properly and most probably the lashing done wrong as well.
Reports today are stating that the vessel lost already more than 150 units!!! unbelievable !!!
Some will say ,yah but you know that was real bad weather... look at the pictures here
http://www.horta.uac.pt/projectos/cp_valour/index.htmlThis is weeks and month of bad weather and the Valour has lost only a small amount of units overboard.
MSC are also know to load their vessel to critical stress and stability without to much of a second taught for the crew and vessel.
Anyway like Morten said,
A lot of explaining to do for the Chief officer and the Captain of this vessel...
and in the end they will be blame no matter what they will find in the investigation.
The only real concerned is over now, THE CREW IS SAFE!!
Pollution will probably be minimal. A lot of ppw ahead for the insurers.
Have a good one.
