THE dutch coastguard said it was trying to locate 26 empty containers lost on the North Sea during a storm, Reuters reports.
The Panamanian 6,350-TEU Marcos V lost the FEUs off the Dutch Wadden islands while en route to Germany in heavy winds, the coastguard said on its website.
So far, none of the containers has been found. The coastguard is using helicopters and a emergency towing vessel in the search, while ships in the area have also been notified to keep a look out, it said.
