Re: Dutch Islands - Over 200 shipping containers currently missing from MSC Zoe..
If what Minn states is the reason for this, then it does not deal with the problem of crews not fastening the containers. I imagine the containers in the sea contravene regulations associated with pollution and causing a hazard to navigation, hence a better solution at prevention is impounding the ship and crew until all containers are recovered. It's only when you hit corporations with penalties that are significant that they pay attention. But that won't happen, the boat will be sorted, the operator will be doing everything possible to get the boat back to sea and the tax payer will foot the bill cleaning up as always, maybe an insurance company will be involved.
About time to put a water-activated beacon (realistic price around 10$ each) in each and every container.
