ONE APUS will redirect to Japan after the accident
On Monday night, November 30, 2020, ONE APUS, a large container ship owned by ONE, was involved in a maritime accident in the Pacific Ocean northwest of Hawaii, causing more than 1,900 containers to damage or fall overboard.
It is estimated that the number of lost or damaged containers may exceed 1,900, of which about 40 are dangerous goods containers.
The ship was sailing from the Chinese port of Yantian to Long Beach, about 1,600 nautical miles northwest of Hawaii, on November 19 when it encountered a powerful storm that generated strong winds and huge surges, causing the containers to collapse and fall overboard.
It is estimated that the number of lost or damaged containers may exceed 1,900, of which about 40 are dangerous goods containers.
The USCG in Honolulu has been notified and the shipping company is coordinating with the relevant parties to find a port of refuge for the ship in order to assess the damage of the ship and determine the exact number of containers lost.
The accident is bound to cause shipping delay and cargo loss. The foreign trade forwarder who has cargo stowage on the ship, please contact the shipping company in time to understand the cargo situation.
Recent days,ONE reported the latest progress of the accident and corrected the number of lost containers. The latest data showed that about 1816 containers were damaged or lost, and about 64 of these containers contained dangerous goods.
The ONE Apus has been redirected instead to Kobe, Japan, where it is due to arrive Dec. 8, at which time a full damage assessment and investigation will take place, according to a joint statement from shipowner Chidori Ship Holding and manager NYK Ship management.
