The Maersk-Lima: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On May 23, 2018, a significant maritime incident unfolded when several containers filled with luxury BMW X2 vehicles toppled aboard the "Maersk Lima," a container ship that had docked at the APM Global Logistic Argentina Container Terminal 4 in Buenos Aires. The unfortunate mishap resulted in extensive damage to the vehicles, with financial losses reaching hundreds of thousands of USD. APM Terminals clarified that the BMW cars, which suffered destruction due to the collapse, had arrived in a compromised state. They stated that the issue occurred due to instability during the ship's voyage from Paranaguá to Buenos Aires, exacerbated by rough weather conditions encountered while crossing the Rio Grande Do Sul. The "Maersk Lima" had reached Buenos Aires on May 19 and remained in port until May 25 as APM attempted to address the container relocation.

On July 12, 2016, an incident unfolded at the bustling port of Santos when four 40-foot reefer containers were accidentally dislodged from the 'Maersk Lima' vessel around 1:00 PM. The empty containers had become entangled together, leading to one sustaining damage as they fell into the waters below. Fortunately, all of the containers were subsequently retrieved from the sea. Preliminary investigations indicate that the mishap was attributed to a lapse in container handling protocols by a terminal worker, emphasizing the importance of adherence to safety procedures in maritime operations.
