Maersk Container Recovery Efforts: Updates on Lost Containers and Cleanup

Maersk’s recovery efforts after losing over 40 containers in the North Sea have been ongoing for a week. The company has not provided many details publicly, but the Mayview Maersk, the vessel involved, is expected to depart from Gdansk, Poland on December 30. Claims consultant WK Webster confirmed that there were damaged containers in addition to the ones that went overboard.

The Danish maritime authorities continue to issue warnings about missing containers in the North Sea. Initial reports stated that four containers washed ashore along the North Jutland coast, and thousands of shoes and other items have been recovered from the beaches. Denmark’s Environment Minister confirmed that the containers held consumer goods and that there was no hazardous material present. Maersk has hired a cleanup company and is compensating volunteers who helped with the cleanup.
