M/V
Ital Florida
made her maiden call at Hong Kong on April 20 2007. But
the beginning of a busy career was interupted by a "Stack
Attack" between June 16 & 19 2007. Was
this problem the result of improper lashing securing, bad
weather or both?

Thanks To Our Contributors For The"Stack Attack" Feature
Our Contributors for this feature are:Anonymous photo contributors who wish to be anonymous*Markus. Bender
Tim Schwabedissen - our Sr. Cargo Law Correspondent
Christoph Wahner. Esq. - our Cargo Law Correspondent
The Cargo Letter appreciates the continuing efforts of these valued contributors. Thanks Pals!
NOTE: Please Provide Us With Your Additional Information For This Loss.
EDITOR'S NOTE FOR SURVEYORS, ATTORNEYS & MARINE ADJUSTERS: The Internet edition effort of The Cargo Letter now celebrates it's 8th Year of Service -- making us quite senior in this segment of the industry. We once estimated container underway losses at about 1,500 per year. Lloyd's put that figure at about 10,000 earlier this year. Quite obviously, the reporting mechanism for these massive losses is not supported by the lines. News of these events is not posted to the maritime community. Our new project is to call upon you -- those handling the claims -- to let us know of each container loss at sea-- in confidentiality. Many of you survey on behalf of cargo interests with no need for confidentiality. Others work for the lines & need to be protected. As a respected Int'l publication, The Cargo Letter enjoys full press privileges & cannot be forced to disclose our sources of information. No successful attempt has ever been made. If a personal notation for your report is desired -- each contributor will be given a "hot link" to your company Website in each & every report. Please take moment & report your "overside" containers to us. If you do not wish attribution, your entry will be "anonymous." This will will benefit our industry -- for obvious reasons! McD
* NOTE: The Cargo Letter wants you to know that by keeping the identity of our contributors 100% Confidential, you are able to view our continuing series of "Cargo Disasters." Our friends send us materials which benefit the industry. The materials are provided to our news publication with complete and enforceable confidentiality for the sender. In turn, we provide these materials to you.
