In an incident similar to the capsizing of the container feeder ship SL Star at Bandar Abbas, Iran in 2019 (see SM, June 2019), the similar-sized boxship Maya capsized while she was alongside the berth at Shunan City, Japan in early August during cargo handling operations. All crew members escaped without serious injury but a number of containers went adrift and the Japanese Coast Guard advised shipping to be alert for floating boxes in the area. JS
