The latest news: A super-large container ship named MADRID BRIDGE under the Japanese shipping company ONE, with a capacity of up to 13,900 TEU, collapsed in the North Atlantic on January 7, local time, on its way from Singapore to New York, USA via the Suez Canal accident.
According to foreign media reports, the accident caused a large number of containers to fall into the sea, and the number of lost containers is likely to exceed 30, depending on the official follow-up news.
Yesterday, ONE's official website issued a relevant announcement. The announcement stated: The current priority is to ensure the safety of the crew, ships and cargo on board. The ship's schedule is expected to be delayed.
The Madrid Bridge, which was involved in the stacking collapse and the container falling into the sea, is currently serving the well-known Asia-U.S. East route EC4 of THE Alliance, calling at Hong Kong and Shenzhen Yantian ports in China, and accepting transfers from Northeast China to the U.S. via Singapore. Cargo from the following four major ports:
New York (NEW York), Norfolk (Norfolk), Savannah (Savannah) and Charleston (Charleston).
It is reported that the shipping companies that share cabins on the Madrid Bridge include Hapag-Lloyd, HMM and Yangming Shipping of THE Shipping Alliance.
The following is the actual call time of the domestic port of the Madrid Bridge, and the original call plan of the four destination ports in the east of the United States:
Currently, the 'Madrid Bridge' is heading west at a reduced speed and the vessel must be extremely careful to avoid bad weather to avoid further losses.
In view of the fact that a large number of goods on board come from Chinese ports, foreign trade export and freight forwarding and logistics companies that carry the ship through ONE, Hapag-Lloyd, Yang Ming Shipping and HMM recently need to pay special attention, pay attention to the dynamics of the ship in time, and keep up with the shipping company. Communicate, understand the cargo situation, and the impact of the accident on the subsequent delays!
