About this document
Ever Smart Cargo Loss Case Study by Jestin Dela Torre is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The container ship Ever Smart suffered a container stow collapse in heavy seas while traveling between Taiwan and Los Angeles, causing 42 containers to fall overboard and 34 to be damaged. The master had changed course to avoid a developing depression, but the ship continued pitching and rolling heavily. An investigation found the loss likely occurred during heavy conditions in the early morning, and that the containers were not properly secured according to the cargo manual.
