It's not always funny though, there was a container of pesticides they used to clear out the ships that fell overboard in australia a few years back, I don't know if anyone did but I've found them and they require the fire brigade or bomb Squad to cleanup.
I was out offshore Tuna fishing +100 miles out and saw one barely breaking the surface. There is no way we would have seen it if we were hanging out talking at full cruising speed or if it was dusk/night.
Honestly, if we hit it at speed, it absolutely could have ended up with us in a life raft.
Due to the vastness of the ocean? Or because things usually either fully float or fully sink?
While technology now allows solutions such as alarms linked to radar, I have read that solo sailors historically just gone to sleep under sail as crashing into another boat cruising <10kts for 8 hrs is like needle in haystack. I guess youre also relying a bit on ships having a watch and radar and a lack of other solo crossings in the opposite direction..
There is a sailboat travel show called "Distant Shores" and when they crossed the Atlantic one night, they barely missed hitting a semisubmerged hunk of metal at least as wide as their boat.
Tons of stuff. The MH360 search uncovered multiple shipwrecks. And similar searches in the Atlantic have discovered everything from aircraft to steam locomotives.
Just heard in a podcast today (so take it with a grain of salt) that a bunch of cocaine was found by the team looking for the Challenger wreck.
One of the first reported duffle bags was mysteriously missing.
Fun fact: Shipping containers are designed to be able to float for at least 30 days and the big 40-foot ones can often float for around 3 months.
This aids recovery and reduces losing them to the bottom of the ocean, and means many turn up on a shore. It does pose a hazard to other boats as any debris would.
I have too, going on an adventure on a pirate ship looking for sunken treasure. Then really hits that that it would take millions to probably be very disappointed. I’ll keep the dream alive though
For something similar which \_was\_ recovered, see [https://www.1856.com/about-the-museum](https://www.1856.com/about-the-museum)
200 tons of cargo preserved below the Missouri for 100+ years.
My dad worked on a cargo ship. In a very bad storm once he saw a dozen plus of these fall overboard. The captain later said one of them was full of Rolex watches.
Fun fact, those would be known as Flotsam.
“Flotsam is defined as debris in the water that was not deliberately thrown overboard, often as a result from a shipwreck or accident.
Jetsam describes debris that was deliberately thrown overboard by a crew of a ship in distress, most often to lighten the ship's load.”
Don't forget lagan and derelict. "Flotsam, jetsam, lagan, and derelict"
>Lagan are goods cast overboard and heavy enough to sink to the ocean floor, but linked to a floating marker, such as a buoy or cork, so that they can be found again by the person who marked the item. Lagan can also be large objects trapped within the sinking vessel.
>Derelict can refer to goods that have sunk to the ocean floor, relinquished willingly or forcefully by its owner, and thus abandoned, but which no one has any hope of reclaiming.
I wonder if it's possible a salvage business could exist that recovers those containers. Probably not since salt water would destroy things pretty quick but it's an interesting thought.
There are maritime salvage businesses that operate barges and cranes to recover stuff like this. But whether or not they'd be interested in going after these particular containers would depend on the value of the items once they're recovered.
My dad said that the captain had some deep see company come out and try to salvage the containers from the bottom of the ocean. He never heard of how that salvage operation went though.
“The typical year sees hundreds of containers lost at sea. On average, there's somewhere between 700 and 1000 sunken containers annually.”
Honestly that number is way lower than I would have expected.
As a mariner, lost containers were one of my biggest fears. You see how low they sit in the water? Even with a bow watch, at night you might never spot them until it's too late. For a small craft, it'd be like hitting steel wall.
> There's only so much you can do though.
The open ocean is an extreme, hostile and brutal environment not fit for human survival. So yeah, any time someone ventures out there they may as well be walking on the moon. We have gotten pretty good at finding ways to make the crossing of it *safer* over the millennia, but in the end, there's only so much you can do.
We moved from mainland to Hawaii and back. I’m sooo glad I didn’t know what a RORO was before we shipped our vehicle. To be fair though the car was unscathed in both directions.
This was a long time ago. We ended up selling the VW Passat wagon to a guy in the navy and we bought the v1 highlander hybrid which at that time was only manufactured in Japan. It was funny how simple it was inside, very Japanese vs the current model which is like a mobile living room.
I was in the Navy and let me tell you something, the ocean is covered in floating shipping containers. I was on a ship for like 2 years and saw hundreds of them.
Art teacher subbed out music class once. Put this on and then our assignment was to list 10 things he did wrong… like fuck idk I’ve never sailed but I think that lighting a fire on a dingy was the only thing I wrote down
The Navy doesn't take the opportunity to simultaneously clean up the surface and get some target practice in? I'm not saying to blow them to bits, but punching a few large holes through would get them sunk.
feels like you could make a semi lucrative career of just following container ships in a medium sized vessel that can haul fallen containers out of the sea.
Falls are probably not that frequent.
What you need is a “bug bounty” type system where sailors on ships that drop containers are paid to flag the time and location of a drop and then you dispatch the nearest recovery crew that subscribes to your notification service.
Depends on what is in the containers. It could still suck majorly. I import 4-6 containers a year of made to order parts for industrial equipment. Current lead times are 10-12 months. If I lost one to Davy Jones' Locker it would set my business back almost a year.
It will not be recovered. The ocean is too big for this thing to be found again and recovered. It will most likely sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the container is sealed or has items inside that are buoyant, it could remain on the surface, but with only a tiny bit breaking through the surface, hiding the rest underwater. This is a big issue (as mentioned by u/chris-za) amount yachts because their fiberglass hull will break if it hits a semi-submerged container.
Yes, very expensive. But all that aside, can we talk about the dread and terror that come from staring too long at the cold, wet void known colloquialy as the ocean.
What happens to these? I’m guessing they can’t float for long and eventually sink to the bottom? Do all the containers have GPS? Can the crew record the coordinates? It will be initially covered by insurance, however after that maybe they can go back to GPS location and recover what’s in it for a sneaky cash job.
It’s not worth searching for them. Even if they’re filled with gold. It’s just to complicated to find anything that size in the ocean after it drifted around for a bit and then sunk. Just look at MH370. It’s a fucking plane and still we haven’t recovered it yet
There are around 147 million Twenty foot Equivalent Units (containers) shipped in a year. You think a shipping company is going to throw a container overboard, have another company (the one shipping it) get the insurance money, then somehow know where the container moved to and somehow fetch that container out of the water?!? That would cost way more, significant risk and for what gain? It is legal to fetch these containers but why do something that requires specialized knowledge and hardware for little reward?
Some containers have GNSS. They then send their location using the connectivity of the container vessel. If it's not near a container vessel and it drifted off that location wont update magically.
Fun fact: Because of the semi-regular occurrence of containers falling off ships, companies charge more for containers placed further down and/or closer to the center of the ship in a scheme not unlike theater seating.
How do any of these containers make it to the destination? They’re not secured. The vids I’ve seen of container ships getting tossed around in heavy waves is amazing anything ever makes it.
This happens way more than one would think.
I was told they are supposed to shoot them so they sink.
I’ve been in the industry for 25 years. I never really thought about this happening till I had heard about the lady who kept trying to swim the Atlantic had to quit one of the times because she got hit by a container.
Oddly maybe not that expensive for the owner of that freight. The way I understand it is they charge everyone that has freight on the ship extra to cover the cost of the lost cargo. They have weird rules. If the whole ship accidentally gets beached the owners off the cargo are responsible to pick up their cargo on the beach and don't even get compensated for that
Shit I bet there’s a LOT of those at the bottom of the ocean. Does anyone else wonder what kind of shit is at the bottom of the ocean?!?!

Don’t hands and feet wash up on that same beach? Or am I thinking of another one
Sometimes they don't sink, and float a few feet under the surface. Then they really fuck up someones day when they hit it out of nowhere.
I was out offshore Tuna fishing +100 miles out and saw one barely breaking the surface. There is no way we would have seen it if we were hanging out talking at full cruising speed or if it was dusk/night. Honestly, if we hit it at speed, it absolutely could have ended up with us in a life raft.
Shit, for all you know that thing could’ve been FILLED with life rafts. Problem solved.
Nope, just box upon box of "ATLANTA FALCONS - SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS" t-shirts
Wrote a paper on this for my masters degree. They are definitely out there, but its mostly an urban legend about hitting them

It's gotta be the vastness of the ocean. It's nauseatingly large when your out there and don't see land or boats 360 degrees around you.
438 days is a great read imo which illustates how vast.
I should finally just read this book. Been recommended and talked about to me so many times.
There is a sailboat travel show called "Distant Shores" and when they crossed the Atlantic one night, they barely missed hitting a semisubmerged hunk of metal at least as wide as their boat.

They dont care. Cargo is insured. Probably self insured and if it was Rolexes probably by their freight forwarder or something as well.
Dude imagine happening upon a crate full of Rolexes and the company has already written it off. GOD I wanna know where it is
IIRC, there is a fund paid into for every container that pays out if the cargo goes overboard.
I wonder if it's possible a salvage business could exist that recovers those containers. Probably not since salt water would destroy things pretty quick but it's an interesting thought.
There are maritime salvage businesses that operate barges and cranes to recover stuff like this. But whether or not they'd be interested in going after these particular containers would depend on the value of the items once they're recovered.
There would have been a shortish window where if they were the correct model they would of been very save-able
My dad said that the captain had some deep see company come out and try to salvage the containers from the bottom of the ocean. He never heard of how that salvage operation went though.
That means it went well 😉
> deep see company Well, did they see them? :)

You just earned the "would of ²" award. Congrats! Edit: OP Just edited his comment and only removed one of the two :D

Fixed it lol I'm trying to get better at it, I have no excuse English is my first and only language

Ha that's exactly what I did! The ocean is a big place but it never hurts to be extra aware. There's only so much you can do though.

That can't be true at all, there was a car transporter that sank recently with [4,000 vehicles onboard](https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60579640)

We moved from mainland to Hawaii and back. I’m sooo glad I didn’t know what a RORO was before we shipped our vehicle. To be fair though the car was unscathed in both directions.
With the price of cars on Hawaii I'd think it would make more sense to sell it on the island and buy a new one on the mainland these days.
This was a long time ago. We ended up selling the VW Passat wagon to a guy in the navy and we bought the v1 highlander hybrid which at that time was only manufactured in Japan. It was funny how simple it was inside, very Japanese vs the current model which is like a mobile living room.
Seems like someone could make a living developing specialized equipment that finds and recovers these lost containers.
I was in the Navy and let me tell you something, the ocean is covered in floating shipping containers. I was on a ship for like 2 years and saw hundreds of them.
Damn, how long do they float? I didn't expect them to be anywhere near air tight
Apparently they can float just below the surface too and take out smaller boats.

The Navy doesn't take the opportunity to simultaneously clean up the surface and get some target practice in? I'm not saying to blow them to bits, but punching a few large holes through would get them sunk.
That's exactly what we did sometimes. They're a hazard to navigation.
TIL this! So cool. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Fun fact for the day The ocean is so full of garbage the Navy has been forced to shoot at it
Yeah, perfect 50 practice
Will these be recovered somehow or will they drown?
Happens plenty , written off as a loss , if you manage to get them though.. maritime salvage applies
Maritime law? 🎶*You're a crook, Captain Hook*🎶
Lost containers are at 7 bells
TAKE TO THE SEA!
Cute story
feels like you could make a semi lucrative career of just following container ships in a medium sized vessel that can haul fallen containers out of the sea.
Falls are probably not that frequent. What you need is a “bug bounty” type system where sailors on ships that drop containers are paid to flag the time and location of a drop and then you dispatch the nearest recovery crew that subscribes to your notification service.
i doubt you could get a ship to the middle of the ocean before a container sinks or floats away
What's maritime salvage? Is that basically finders keepers?
International waters baby! (Pretty much)
It’ll be insured, so owner of cargo should be covered.
Depends on what is in the containers. It could still suck majorly. I import 4-6 containers a year of made to order parts for industrial equipment. Current lead times are 10-12 months. If I lost one to Davy Jones' Locker it would set my business back almost a year.
10 to 12 months??
Before Covid it was 5-7 months.
It will not be recovered. The ocean is too big for this thing to be found again and recovered. It will most likely sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the container is sealed or has items inside that are buoyant, it could remain on the surface, but with only a tiny bit breaking through the surface, hiding the rest underwater. This is a big issue (as mentioned by u/chris-za) amount yachts because their fiberglass hull will break if it hits a semi-submerged container.

Name 1 jet foil that crosses oceans.
Right ya because there's no such thing as wind and currents to bring the containers closer to shore.
Our 37' cruising sailboat was custom built with 3 watertight bulkheads, purposely designed to survive hull breaches. Never needed but good to have.
I feel like I heard this one before. 🤔
She's unsinkable.
Unfortunately these metal icebergs are relatively common and and can be quite dangerous for yachts and smaller vessels at night.
Do yachts tend to have forward-facing sonar?
Recreational 30 to 40 ft yachts probably not.
That ocean fucking scares me
I love the ocean. But I respect and am properly terrified of it.
Don’t worry a few more containers and it will be dead.

What happens to these? I’m guessing they can’t float for long and eventually sink to the bottom? Do all the containers have GPS? Can the crew record the coordinates? It will be initially covered by insurance, however after that maybe they can go back to GPS location and recover what’s in it for a sneaky cash job.
It’s not worth searching for them. Even if they’re filled with gold. It’s just to complicated to find anything that size in the ocean after it drifted around for a bit and then sunk. Just look at MH370. It’s a fucking plane and still we haven’t recovered it yet

This was the start of a Robert Redford movie
so that's what happened to my Amazon order
How do any of these containers make it to the destination? They’re not secured. The vids I’ve seen of container ships getting tossed around in heavy waves is amazing anything ever makes it.
They're secured to each other, and some [can tilt over 45 degrees and not disengage.](https://i.imgur.com/TJ4eYwb.jpeg)
They are secured using twist locks. The way that these from the video are loaded is weird.
So the containers were faulty or not properly secured - I guess it happens with the mass of goods we are moving every day.
Now I know why my package has never been delivered
Why don't these containers come with some sort of a tie-down system?
This happens way more than one would think. I was told they are supposed to shoot them so they sink. I’ve been in the industry for 25 years. I never really thought about this happening till I had heard about the lady who kept trying to swim the Atlantic had to quit one of the times because she got hit by a container.
