On June 11, 2018, a dramatic incident unfolded at the Pacific International Terminal in Tianjin when five containers fell from the deck of the container ship "CSCL Spring," crashing onto the moored bunker tanker "Jinyou 8." This unfortunate event is believed to have stemmed from a twistlock failure during an attempt to lift a 40-foot container from the ship. As the lift was not executed smoothly, it caused the destabilization of the containers stacked below. Fortunately, while the "Jinyou 8" incurred noticeable damage, the "CSCL Spring" emerged with no significant harm, setting sail from Tianjin on June 12, heading towards Qingdao with an estimated arrival date of June 14.
