Container Chaos: Ship loses 270 containers in North Sea storm

Some of the cargo has washed up on islands north of the Dutch and German coastlines. That's led to people on shore launching treasure hunts. Now authorities are warning the public to stay away, saying there could be harmful chemicals. Philip Owira reports.

Anything falling off ships and wash ashore is fair game to anyone that finds it.

Salt water and drying out a TV ? Yeah that's gonna work

[tomservo]

The Mayor "All goods of value must be handed over to authorities, in this case, the mayor"

[JDT-]

salt water and elctronics never go in harmony

[Pwndbythnb]

If thr authorities want the goods of value how about they pay to send a crew to clean up the pollution. If anything people cleaning up the beaches doing a community service and are being rewarded for something the government isn't doing.

"They expect the cleanup to take... A long time" 😂😂 How long is a long time? 5 hours? 5 days? 5 weeks? 5 months? Cmon man, you can do better reporting than

[groupb]

Do the authorities really believe the public is going to hand in goods washed up ... I know one thing I wouldn’t that’s for sure

[mycatisromeo]

Is this why my as-is discounted new tv doesn't work?

Japan cargo ship is burning and then a Chinese cargo ship goes missing...trade war is on.

[JoeRocket-sfqs]

Those containers are fair game if people want to take the stuff inside to make use of, insurance paid for it already.

[m.asquino]

I'm sure that happens quite often, that north sea is a rough area of water especially in the winter time

Wherever authoritarianism raises it's ugly head, just ignore it.

[peterwallace]

These container ships are overloaded. They need to lower the height of the stacking of the containers.

Your Amazon parcel is out for delivery….
Delivered and signed on the beach…

Man
If you’re just going to scrap all that, why not let your people just keep it. There’s definitely insurance that covers all of this.

The flat screen TV is of no use. When they come to the USA they have to be coded electronically in order to work. But it makes a nice picture frame.

[Luizgammingchannel]

if this happens in Brazil there would be no load on the beach Brazilians take everything

[rc]

Lmfao all goods that have any worth must be given to authorities which is the mayor 🤣 😂 but they can keep the garbage

[robertharris]

The container ship company should be liable those containers shouldn't just be stacked up loosely they should be fastened down so they don't fall off it's just completely ridiculous

[SRK]

I'm still hoping to find 3 or 4 washed up holdhalls full of Colombia's finest washed up on the Kents coastline 😔
