The MV ONE APUS Voyage 006E, serving in our Pacific South Loop 7 (PS7), encountered heavy weather and suffered collapsed containers while the vessel was enroute to her next port call, Long Beach.
We regret to advise that indications, from our partner ONE, are that the on deck impacted container bays remain unsafe for close-quarter inspection. However, it now appears that the number of lost or damaged on deck units could be significant. The same preliminary visual inspections are indicating that the containers in the cargo hold appear to be intact.
The ONE APUS is now proceeding towards Japan with plans to seek a suitable port to perform the necessary work to right unstable containers, assess damages and determine the exact number of containers lost or damaged.
The focus is now on getting the ship to a safe port as soon as possible to ensure the ongoing safety of the crew, the vessel and the cargo on board. We will share further updates as information and details become available.
We regret the inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding in this regard. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact your sales account representative.
