Loosing power in a storm is a bixxx. That ship also looked awfully topheavy with all those shipping containers stacked.
Top-heavy? Have you ever seen Maersk line’s large containerships???
“That ship also looked awfully topheavy with all those shipping containers stacked.”
More than likely. She wasn’t a celled containership as far as I know. More like a big floating multi level parking lot as she was a RO RO vessel. Those containers on deck would have been fine under normal circumstances, but in such a storm I believe they contributed to the list when some of the lashings broke, and the stacks of locked together containers laid over to the opposite side the waves were approaching, and hitting the vessel. It most definitely would have been a contributing factor.
