The subsea search for 79 missing containers that fell from the containership YM Efficiency earlier this month is set to kick off in the next few days, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said Friday. AMSA has confirmed that the ship’s insurers have contracted Port of Newcastle to provide their hydrographic survey vessel to initially conduct a five-day search. The Liberian-flagged container ship YM Efficiency lost 81 containers after experiencing heavy weather approximately 30km southeast of Newcastle on June 1. Only two containers have been recovered so far. Large amounts of debris has washed up and been recovered from New South Wales’ central coast beaches since the containers were lost. The YM Efficiency arrived into Sydney about four days later with stacks of collapsed containers on its deck and hanging off the side. gcaptain.com/subs...
