The loss of containers from a violently rolling Zim-operated container ship has highlighted gaps in training for seafarers to deal with such rare events, according to a Canadian investigation.
The 4,253-teu Zim Kingston (built 2008) ran into stormy weather off Vancouver Island in British Columbia in October 2021 and experienced the phenomenon of parametric rolling — a series of side-to-side rolls that dislodged 109 containers.
