Fishing boats to retrieve lost containers

The operator of the "NP Love Gistic 2" could not find a cranebarge to pull the lost containers out of the sea, hence fishing boats would be used to tow them instead. But the operation would have to be wait until July 16 when the rough seas caused by strong monsoon were expected to return to normal. The "NP Love Gistic 2" had left the Na Klua Pier in Trang’s Kantang district to deliver processed rubber wood to Malaysia when the cargo loss occurre between Koh Lao Liang and Koh Takian in Trang’s Paliang district, when its rudder system malfunctioned causing it to go adrift. The ship tilted when it was hit by large waves, toppling the 16 containers into the sea. Seven containers were later found washed ashore on Koh Sukorn in Paliang, while another container ruptured and sank. The others were still floating in the seas. Officials had marked the location of the sunk container with buoys to retrieve it later. Fishing boats would be used to tow the containers to the nearest piers for the cargo ship to pick them up later. The entire operation would be completed no later than July 26.

Container loss in Trang Province

The "NP Lovegistics 2" was caught in rough weather in Trang Province waters near Koh Lao Liang island in the Andaman Sea on July 10, 2018. The ship was en route from Kantang port, Trang, to Port Klang. The waves caused an electrical short circuit, resulting in the ship becoming adrift west of Koh Lao Liang in Trang’s Kantang district. The Trang marine police sent a patrol boat to intercept the cargo ship after learning of the incident at noon. While the patrol boat was still heading to the ship, it was informed that the power system had been restored, but the 17 containers on the ship's deck were washed overboard. The marine police advised the captain to bring the ship to dock at the Trang pier in Tambon Na Klua of the Kantang district pending a retrieval operation to recover he containers from the sea. Nobody aboard the ship was injured. Report with photos and video: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/breakingnews/30349849 https://www.facebook.com/memoriesatp/videos/1918398534893859/
