Cargo ship drops load off Australian coast
Heavy seas off the east coast of Australia have caused 83 shipping containers to fall off a cargo ship, threatening maritime traffic and migrating whales.
The YM Efficiency, operated by Taiwanese shipping company Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation, was sailing from Taiwan to Sydney on Thursday, when it encountered 5-meter swells in the Tasman Sea about 30 kilometers off the Australian coast.
Powerful waves and gale force winds caused the Liberian-registered vessel to roll heavily, causing 83 containers to fall off, and damaging 30 more, the New South Wales Roads and Maritime Service said on its FaceBook page on Saturday.
Nappies, surgical masks and sanitary products have begun washing up on beaches north of Australia's largest city, Sydney, Australian news outlet AAP reported on Saturday.
