Loss of containers at sea
File:Cleaning up Terschelling after MSC Zoe lost 281 containers (31641937427).jpg
On 1 January 2019, 342 containers went overboard whilst MSC Zoe was sailing on the North Sea. Two hundred ninety-seven containers were lost north of the Dutch island Ameland, the remaining containers some hours later north of the German island Borkum.[https://nos.nl/artikel/2266842-onderzoeksraad-voor-veiligheid-onderzoekt-overboord-slaan-containers.html Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid onderzoekt overboord slaan containers] Nos News, 10 January 2019 Nineteen of the containers and their contents – including organic peroxides, children's toys, shoes, bags, cushions, chairs, televisions, and plastic packaging – washed ashore on the Dutch islands of Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog and German island Borkum in the Wadden Sea, a protected UNESCO biosphere reserve.{{cite news |title=Islands hit as 270 containers fall off ship |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46746312 |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=BBC News |date=3 January 2019}}[https://www.rtvnoord.nl/nieuws/203308/Rijkswaterstaat-222-containers-gelokaliseerd-update Rijkswaterstaat: 222 containers gelokaliseerd (update) ] RTV Noord, 6 January 2019{{cite web|url=https://maritime-executive.com/article/photos-msc-zoe-loses-containers-in-north-sea|title=Photos: MSC Zoe Loses Containers in North Sea|website=The Maritime Executive|access-date=6 February 2019}}
In 2020, the Dutch Safety Board, German BSU and Panama Maritime Authority published a joint report on their investigation of the incident. It notes that the loss of containers occurred over several hours, due to strong rolling and the associated accelerations caused by the prevalent sea conditions at the time. Although it found that the loading and securing of the cargo was in accordance with regulations at the time, it recommended to revise the regulations with special consideration of very large container ships.{{cite web|url=https://www.onderzoeksraad.nl/en/media/attachment/2020/6/25/internationale_toedrachtsrapport_msc_zoe.pdf|title=Loss of containers overboard from MSC Zoe. 1-2 January 2019|website=Dutch Safety Board|access-date=25 September 2022}}
In 2019 the shipping company created a list of places at sea where contents of the containers still can be found but did not publish it. After a lengthy legal battle against the Dutch government (who deemed the waste "litter") this list was made public in April 2024. It contains 6000 places at sea, and it totals around {{convert|800000|kg|lb|abbr=on}}, circa a quarter of the original waste.{{Cite news| title=Vijf jaar na ramp met MSC Zoe wordt duidelijk waar de troep ligt |url=https://nos.nl/artikel/2516217-vijf-jaar-na-ramp-met-msc-zoe-wordt-duidelijk-waar-de-troep-ligt |date=10 April 2024 |access-date=11 April 2024 |language=nl}}{{Cite web |last=NDR |title=Neue Bilder veröffentlicht: Wird Ladung von "MSC Zoe" geborgen? |url=https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/oldenburg_ostfriesland/Neue-Bilder-veroeffentlicht-Wird-Ladung-von-MSC-Zoe-geborgen,havarie678.html |access-date=11 April 2024 |website=www.ndr.de |language=de}}
