Strong winds and rough seas hampered the combined effort by responders to contain the blaze aboard the Singaporean flagged container vessel MV X-Press Pearl in the anchorage off Colombo yesterday, as the Indian Government dispatched Coast Guard ships and aircraft to assist following a request by the Sri Lanka Navy.
According to the Navy Spokesman Capt Indika De Silva, the fire that

Containers piled high on giant vessels carrying everything from car tires to smartphones are toppling over at an alarming rate, sending millions of dollars of cargo sinking to the bottom of the ocean as pressure to speed deliveries raises the risk of safety errors.
The shipping industry is seeing the biggest spike in lost containers in seven years. More than 3,000 boxes dropped into the sea last year, and more than 1,000 have fallen overboard so far in 2021. The accidents are disrupting supply chains for hundreds of U.S. retailers and manufacturers such as Amazon and Tesla.
There are a host of reasons for the sudden rise in accidents. Weather is getting more unpredictable, while ships are

Este megabuque portacontenedores fue liberado el pasado 29 de marzo de los bancos del canal de Suez, que había bloqueado durante días, atascando una de las principales arterias para el comercio marítimo mundial. Visto en perspectiva, la operación de rescate del coloso resultó ser relativamente fluida. Pero eso no quiere decir que los problemas hayan desaparecido.
Hace semanas que el tránsito de buques en el canal de Suez ha recuperado la normalidad, con la única

The time to be equilibrium or the time to sink is estimated from the simulation.
Abstract
When a floater such as a ship or an offshore structure is damaged in the sea, it is necessary to determine whether the floater will sink in water or not. If the floater will sink, the time to sink should be estimated to make an emergency plan. In addition, causes of
