Update from the shipping line – ONE (Ocean Network Express) – said the ship arrived in Long Beach and docked on 12 April. AIS data shows that the ship left Long Beach for Oakland, California. Current conditions suggest the ship was “drifting,” possibly due to the port congestion that had spread to Oakland from southern California.

ONE Apus left Kobe, Japan in mid-March after a series of operations to unload hundreds of damaged and broken containers on deck.

The ONE Apus vessel on its way from China to Long Beach, California had an accident of losing an estimated 1,816 containers on board in heavy weather, about 1,600 nautical miles northwest of Hawaii on November 30, 2020. Hundreds of other containers have collapsed on deck.

The ship arrived in Kobe on December 8, where cargo handling and repair operations took place. The February 26 information update from ONE said a total of 940 containers on deck had been unloaded.

It was the worst in a series of cargo losses caused by weather on trans-Pacific shipping last year as ships filled with cargo from Asia headed for the US.

ONE Apus vessel registered in Japan is operated on the FP2 service (Far East Pacific 2) of container shipping line ONE and has a capacity of 14,000 TEU (container type 20 feet). General Average was never declared in the accident.

According to a report by the World Shipping Council in November 2020, an average of only 1,382 containers are lost at sea each year from about 5,000 active container ships, however the number may vary. many taking into account catastrophic events such as the ONE Apus cargo loss.
