*****INITIAL REPORT*****
Reports have been received that Panamanian flag vessel MSC ZOE (192,237gt built 2015) lost 207 containers overboard in heavy seas off the Dutch coast yesterday.
The container vessel, which was en route from Sines in Portugal to Bremerhaven in Germany, ran into a storm off Borkum Island last night. Some of the containers have been located.
MSC ZOE trades between ports in the Far East and Europe. Prior to Sines, she had called at ports in Malaysia, China and South Korea. It is likely that she is carrying transhipment cargoes from and to other countries as well.
