You CANNOT unload the vessel at sea! A container ship has no means to lift the boxes off the deck and out of the cells. Shoreside cranes must be used. If there were explosives onboard, they could be in a box at the very bottom of a cell containing six or eight boxes. The only way to unload it is to bring it into port where the gantry cranes are located.

Well, I guess you could always sink the whole thing out at sea.

not being unloaded.."are using special equipment to inspect cargo" and will take sometime because of the size of the cargo vessel...are only acting on a tip which could be accurate or false, but at least there is action!

Ugh...

People and their facts!

It just takes away from the whole shallow, melodramatic Loserdopian atmosphere that grips FR every Friday and leads through the weekend.

LOL. Shows what I know. The only time I ever go on a boat is when I am trying to reel in a couple salmon.
