MSC 波罗的海 III 号集装箱船（33,767 载重吨）在一场冬季风暴中失去动力并在加拿大靠岸 12 天后，加拿大海岸警卫队报告称该船无法安全浮出水面。天气继续阻碍着海岸警卫队和一支私人打捞队的工作，最新消息称他们正在集中力量打捞船上的燃料和其他可能的污染物。

这艘船于 2 月 15 日被开到纽芬兰西部的岩石海岸线上后被遗弃。一架直升机救起了船员。

自这艘 679 英尺（203 米）长的船只上岸以来，冬季风暴一直影响着该地区。海岸警卫队表示，救援队经常无法登船，天气也阻碍了一些水上作业。他们正从岸上和空中对该船进行监控。

本周初，他们报告说，潜水员已确认水线以下的船体有明显的破损或孔洞。该船已稳稳地沉入海底，到目前为止，他们还没有发现水线附近有明显的破损。然而，图片显示船体有一些变形，并有可能出现裂缝。

“海岸警卫队在 2 月 27 日晚些时候发布的最新报告中写道："鉴于该船目前的状况，无法将其安全地重新浮出水面。“最初的重点将是清除燃料和货物"。

鉴于情况紧急，海岸警卫队表示正在寻找其他替代方案，包括修复一条旧公路和全地形车道，以到达偏远地区。他们告诉《电讯报》说，这条路需要升级，以应对重型设备和拖拉机拖车。据该报报道，海岸警卫队还在考虑建造一个从岸边通往船头的通道。

调查证实，船上约有 170 万升重油和海洋气体。虽然没有发现污染现象，但人们担心可能会发生泄漏。目前正在探索的措施之一是将燃料抽到岸上，因为可能无法让打捞船靠岸。

地中海航运公司最初告知海岸警卫队，船上约有 470 个集装箱，其中一半以上是空的。其他集装箱装有食品、木材和纸张等物品。海岸警卫队在最新消息中称，8 个装有聚合物珠（nurdles）的集装箱已被列为优先清除对象。

海岸警卫队说，船上有些材料在航运术语中被视为危险品，如 nurdles 以及面粉和威士忌。但在正常情况下，船上没有任何危险品。

最大的问题是要争分夺秒地降低风险，因为该地区的冬季风暴可能会持续不断，并进一步侵袭船只。

With the lifting of the first container at the Shanghai Port on Feb 10, the Gemini Cooperation officially launched its operation at the port, said Shanghai International Port (Group) Co Ltd.

The Gemini Cooperation, a benchmark collaboration between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, announced last year to start operation in February, according to the official website of Hapag-Lloyd.

Both companies acknowledged the positive steps towards stability but emphasized the fragility of the situation and the ongoing security risks in areas like the Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. Thus, both announced plans to continue routing via the Cape of Good Hope, despite ceasefire.

CMA CGM has stated that while the ceasefire is a welcome development, the safety of its seafarers, vessels, and customers’ cargo remains the top priority. As a precaution, the company will continue to use alternative routes, including the Cape of Good Hope, for the majority of its network. Adjustments may be made on a case-by-case basis as the situation evolves.

Similarly, Maersk has confirmed that its operations will also continue to route via the Cape of Good Hope due to persistent security risks in the region. The company highlighted its commitment to ensuring stability and predictability for its customers’ supply chains and noted that its East-West network, set to launch on February 1, 2025, will rely on this routing.
