Set sail with us as we navigate through the stormy seas and explore the Top 5 Most Expensive Container Ship Disasters in History. From hazardous materials lost at sea to colossal insurance claims, these tales are bound to leave you in awe.
ONE Apus (2020): This Japanese-flagged ship faced 15-meter waves, leading to a whopping $200 million loss when nearly 2,000 containers were swept overboard, 64 of which were carrying hazardous materials.
MSC Napoli (2017): Battling winds of 115 km/h, this British vessel suffered severe hull damage. The salvage operation, which involved exploding the ship into pieces, cost the UK government £120 million.
MOL Comfort (2013): A victim of extreme weather, MOL Comfort cracked and split in two. The sinking resulted in an astronomical $400 million loss, making it the most expensive disaster in shipping history.
Rena (2011): Striking a reef off New Zealand, Rena spilled 200 tons of fuel and lost 1,300 containers. A salvage operation costing $700 million, Rena is New Zealand’s worst maritime disaster.
Ever Given (2021): This mega-ship blocked the Suez Canal, holding up $9.6 billion in trade per day. A critical artery for global trade, the Suez Canal had never seen an incident like this in its 150-year history.

Sorry, we had to blur out some footage due to copyright issues. We hope you guys can still enjoy our video.
Love you all! ❤
Ain't it a good thing that America's labor unions, and democrat politicians conspired thru bribery to send all of our manufacturing jobs to China?
All leads back to Corruption. We are fucked!
what's the point of video if you had to blur most part of it?
"small mistakes or human error"
FANTASTIC super extraordinaire, give more, we want more container and a bigger boat
I like when human try do destroy the planet, he doesn t know God don t like it
I wonder how many Human Trafficking victims lost their lives in these lost containers?!
If I remember there are still thousands of little yellow ducks floating around the oceans and a tons of lego 😂😂
Watch the Video of the most epic large container ship disasters without actual footage and blurred images instead. Yeah great…
Stopped after “thousands of containers below deck collapsed and were lost at sea.”
Can’t trust anything after thst
Not surprised
Those containers where probably empty before they hit the ocean water
What is concerning is all hhe containers lost on ocean fñoors and some extremely toxix..environmentsl criminal charges should be brougjt against shippers
And the industry need to be held cuplable and be forced yo make cargos safer…iless loadage.
No more pollution in our oceans !
How did the containers fall off from under the deck
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
why are much of the video BLURRED OUT ?
The sad thing is we don,t need 90% of the stuff they are shipping. Mindless consumerism.
No they will do what they all do just charge more taxes to Joe Public for the mess
So it's not oil spills we need to worry about. It's container load spills of every atomic particle imagineable. I can rest better now.
A nice video!👍
And what happens to all of those spilled containers? The ocean is now littered with partially submerged objects which smaller vessels can crash into. A couple years ago two firefighters took their small boat out off the coast of Florida and were never seen again. All that was ever found was a little wreckage leading to the belief that their boat struck something which was partially submerged and they were wrecked and lost. Searchers gave up after a couple weeks.
Sick pollution!
So that’s where my shipment of Superman underwear went…never to be found !
You gotta love insurance companies !!
First, they will insure you !
Second, they will sue you to get out of payment of a claim. 🤨

TEU stands for "twenty-foot equivalent unit". It's a standard size for a shipping container. A TEU is 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall. It's the most common type of container used on cargo ships
This is why man is finished so who goes and retrieve those containers they just sit and rust.nobody f9llows man kind is finished. 🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨😌
All products should be made in one's home country to avoid shipping things like this
I’m beginning to think that being wrong is the Dems SuperPower…
Surely the government doesnt pay for the clean up
Well jeez maybe if you didn’t overfill them lol. Just because the ship can keep up right in calm to moderate weather doesn’t mean you should .. No concern for safety or damaging the environment. SMH
OMG!!! YOU PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN REVIEW YOUR OWN POST. IN THE VIDEO YOU SAY AT 1l29 THAT THE ONE APUS WAS NORTH OF HAWAII AND AFTER EXPERIENCING EXTREME WEATHER RETURNED EASTWARD TO JAPAN. WELL IF THEY WERE NORTH OF HAWAII THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO WEST TO GET TO JAPAN. THEN AT 1:38 YOU SAY THAT 1000S OF CONTAINER BELOW DECKCOLLAPSED AND WERE LOST AT SEA. HOW CAN CONTAINERS BELOW DECK FALL OVERBOARD. DIDN'T YOU MEAN TO SAY ABOVE DECK? YOU SUCK AT MAKING VIDEOS.
Sea monsters…
What do they do with all of the containers that fall into the ocean? I’ve seen there’s places in Australia I think where things in the containers always wash up on the beaches and usually in perfect condition! The one I remember watching recently is a bunch of Yeti coolers washing up. Search Yeti coolers wash up on shore and you should find videos about it.
GOOD. We don't need any. more Chineez junk
Very nice video
Crane operator looks like a good job.
