February 9, 2013 - "Ship Happens"
Deck of Cards
The Typhoon Encounter of M/V Bai Chay Bridge
Event Date: About 23 June 2012
On The Scene -- At Port of Hong Kong
A 2012 Countryman & McDaniel Cargo Nightmare Prize Contender
Bai Chay Bridge is a container ship that sailed into Typhoon Guchol. At its worst, the typhoon registered as a category 4 super typhoon.
This is when "ship happens."
From The Cargo Letter - 4 July 2012

. . . sailing from the U.S. West Coast, M/V Bai Chay Bridge was scheduled eta HK 6/25. Due to typhoon in Japan with rough sea, some containers (include CKYH member lines Cosco, "K" Line, Yang Ming & Hanjin ) collapsed, likely due to poor lashing.
