Her last position was at 19’56″N 65’25″E, in a water depth of about 3,000 meters according to Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.

Hmm. How many unmarked floating containers will be drifting about there, then?

Very few, if any. Most of them were totally burnt out, judging by the pix.

the stern 1/2 went down intact, if you get my drift

1700 on the stern bit... The piccies of it sinking showed a whole shedload of the buggers floating away... Quite a few of them still linked together as they were stacked...

4 or 5 linked up into a big raft would cause some grief I suspect...
