Entire stacks of containers fell into the ocean during what must certainly have been a dramatic experience for the crew on board container ship Svendborg Maersk when it was crossing the Bay of Biscay last Friday during extreme weather. Somewhere between 200 and 300 containers were blown overboard into the ocean, and a very high number of the remaining containers were damaged during the storm, which brought wind speeds of more than 60 knots and waves of up to 10 meters, says Maersk Line in a statement on its website.
