There aren’t any studies of significant accidents to her passengers and crew.
Maud was not the one ship to be impacted by storm Pia. The 18,270 TEU ultra-large-container ship Mayview Maersk, which sailed from Bremerhaven across the time that the Maud was arriving, misplaced at the least 46 containers off the North Jutland coast of Denmark in storm Pia. No accidents had been reported among the many crew.Â
Reviews recommend that at the least 4 containers have washed ashore to date. Photographs within the Danish media present fridges, and medical gadgets together with needles, footwear, and different shopper items on the seashores. The fabric seems to be scattered throughout almost 10 miles of seashores. The containers seem like 40-foot containers. Hundreds of trainers are additionally reported to have washed up on seashores in northern Denmark.
Happily, there have been no fatalities or critical accidents on the Maud or the Mayview Maersk. On shore, nevertheless, highly effective wind gusts knocked out energy to hundreds within the UK and disrupted air and rail transportation on both facet of the channel. Tragically, at the least two individuals died within the storm. Within the Belgian metropolis of Oudenaarde, a girl was killed and two individuals had been injured by a 20-metre Christmas tree that fell over, collapsing subsequent to a Christmas market. Within the Netherlands, a girl died of her accidents after she was additionally hit by a falling tree.
