An oil pressure problem seems to have caused an engine failure on an AP Moller-Maersk boxship that subsequently lost 260 containers overboard off Japan.
Sixty-five containers were also damaged on the deck of the 13,092-teu Maersk Eindhoven (built 2010), the Danish operator said
The vessel, owned by Minsheng Financial Leasing, suffered a loss of engine propulsion for three to four minutes while sailing 45 nautical miles (83 km) off northern Japan in heavy seas on 17 February.
