109 containers fell from the cargo ship during rough weather and then caught fire near Victoria
The Transportation Safety Board plans to release a report this week stemming from its investigation of the Zim Kingston vessel, which lost 109 containers off Vancouver Island’s west coast and then caught in fire near Victoria in October 2021.
Only four containers were recovered, coming to shore on the west and north of the island. Another 105 containers were never found. “Very late in the day, as the vessel was heading north and the wind and waves coming from the southwest, the vessel rolled heavily. As a result, 109 containers fell overboard and others were damaged,” the board said.
The ship’s crew tried to contain the fire. Three firefighting tugs and a salvage contractor were brought in to help put it out. In November of that year, the safety board sent a team of investigators to Victoria to look into what happened.
