They will be bigger and bigger, there are plans to make up till 10.000 TEU, and as said before, a lot of containers have been lost, last week.....plenty of whisky.......what a pity......not as in the film once,with bottles and barrels, no these are sunk with the containers.
Note:
Tonnes of whisky swept into the sea off Wales
NINETY-TWO tonnes of whisky and liquor have been swept into the sea off the coast of Wales.
In an incident that had all the makings of a Welsh version of movie classic Whisky Galore! the container carrier Endeavour shed its payload near the Pembrokeshire coast on Thursday night. The four 40ft containers were swept overboard about 35 miles from St Ann's Head.
Three of the containers each contained 22 tonnes of whisky while a fourth contained 26 tonnes of an unidentified liquor. But hopes it could rival the plot of the 1949 film were soon dashed. In Whisky Galore! - itself based on a true story - Scottish islanders stumble across a boozy bonanza after a ship carrying 50,000 cases of whisky runs aground on their coastline. In the case of the Endeavour's cargo, all four containers were reported to have sunk by yesterday morning.
Bill Muldrew, watch manager at Milford Haven Coastguard Station, said, "We put out a message for vessels to look out for these containers. But they're all reported to have sunk - and we're very
disappointed about that!"
