Shipping containers with more hazardous contents are shipped on a part of the ship that would be impossible for those containers to fall off. The containers that are stacked the highest and end up falling off have things like clothing, shoes, and other materials that are very low on the toxicity scale compared to the content of the other containers. Refrigerated and sensitive cargo containers are shipped inside the belly of the ships to where it is impossible for them to simply tip and fall off during a storm or other dangerous event. So it is very highly unlikely that this container or any others on the ocean floor have hazardous or extremely toxic materials inside. Just as the narrator said, it is the paint on the container that is the concern.
+Al Scarbrough Do you know if these containers have a built-in vent so they will sink if they do end up in the water? My biggest fear as a sailor of the oceans is hitting one. There are known containers still floating which have had numerous beacons, neon flags and other things attached by boaties to help others avoid them.
+Marina Batham That's actually a suspected cause of several small vessel losses. Sometimes the containers can be just literally awash, depending on the content. Hit one mid ocean with a fibreglass hull in a yacht or similar and it's game over.
+Choppington Otter I know the containers need to be air-tight to ensure their product gets transported safely, but I think they should put a pressure valve that pops upon dropping in the ocean. I'm sure they submerge 10 or 15 feet when falling off a ship, which should be enough to trigger it. Life rafts inflate upon hitting the water, which is triggered by a co2 cartridge or something similar.
+Ronn Folk Thank you. That gives me more peace of mind. I know of a container near Fiji that was covered in old lights, flags and other identifying items still floating in the pacific. Obviously many yachts had passed it by, much to their horror.
after losing so many containers every year you think they would get better at securing them down for a stormy passage. Losing a few containers on one side of the vessel seems like a perfect start to losing the entire vessel. You do not want to be on an unbalanced, topheavy vessel in a storm.
Considering the apparent inevitability of container loss and your own observation of colonization of containers but seemingly reduced by toxic paint perhaps making the containers more eco friendly would actually help diversify otherwise desert like sea beds turning a negative into a positive, making your research practicaly useful.
So let me get this straight. The container was found in a marine sanctuary and rather than upset the fish they left it there to rot way and eventually spill it's contents into the pristine waters. Apparently the thing was filled with either Chinese made sneakers or Christmas decorations rather than fissionable materials. This video was like watching paint dry.
A combination of the owners of the vessel that the containers/cargo fell from, owners of the container and owners of the cargo should be held financially responsible for the retrieval of this debris from the ocean. We know this will never happen, though. At the very least, these companies should face heavy fines with repeat offenders having their license revoked.
I don't think the owner of the cargo can reasonably be held responsible. the responsibility rests on the shipping line for the loss and if necessary, the recovery.
No, the stupid weather is to blame. You can't hold the shipping company responsible for a storm any more than someone who lost their property in a hurricane on land.
I thought those sponges were those foam fruit protectors you immediately throw out after use. Weird to see an animal take such a similar appearance to a mundane object.
Why the hell doesn't the shipping company take responsibility for it's lost cargo and recover the shipping containers it's nothing short of industrial littering how many of these containers have "coincidentally" hazardous waste in them? Sounds like a loophole to litter our oceans without oversite!!!
No, it will never be pulled up because it's sitting in over 4000 feet of water. The amount of money it would cost to recover it would far outweigh it's worth.
And do what with them? The materials inside them are likely ruined and the cost of retrieving them would greatly out way any profit to be made from them. Besides, they're not harming the environment, in fact, life appears to thrive from them.
"Ernest Hemming way said, "The world is good, and worth saving." I believe the second part. ... It is impressive to see a man feeding off his emotions. "What's in the box?!"
Thank you. Great video. I had no idea that such a huge problem existed with container ships polluting our oceans. How about a Fifty thousand dollar penalty for each lost container.

Some of these containers are packed with human cargo. Human trafficking! How many of these containers are on the bottom of the ocean with there 'CARGO '?
The container ship Rena shown early in the video hit a reef 12 mile or so from where I live. It was the captains birthday and him along with all the ships officers were away from the bridge balls deep in prostitutes when it struck, once the pile of bodies untangled themselves the terror would have been a site to behold
The answer is 1159 car tires. Look it up, the owner of this video also proved this. Look up 'container TGHU7712262 contains tires' on a search if you want the facts
Make the containers water tight and make it so that they float, maybe pressurize them or have airbags on them like with helicopters . And with todays technology equip them with GPS locators. It could be a new industry, people recovering containers for either the contents or a reward by the owners ?
It doesn't matter what's in this container or any other in the Pacific. Fukishima is going to kill all life in it, and probably every ocean. Humans won't be far behind.
No, no it's not. It's cold rolled steel coated in paint and a corrosion resistant coating and it's not even been a decade... So I doubt anybody would expect it to be altered at all after such a time... saltwater is corrosive but it takes some time... it ain't acid
The answer is 1,159 car tires. Read the news I found below, "Four months later, scientists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) stumbled upon one of these containers (numbered TGHU7712262) sitting at a depth of 1,281 meters during a research dive using one of their remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Time to investigate was limited by a busy cruise schedule, but they shot some quick video and recorded the location of the container. Following up on the container number revealed its cargo to be 1,159 steel-belted automobile tires"
It sits on its edge and corner like that because it landed that way with enough force to sink into the soft bottom, and now the bottom supports it at that angle.
Quite interesting. I worked on a pearl farm in the south pacific a long time ago. The pearl oysters are strung on cables suspended about 50ft underwater in the middle of an atoll's lagoon. The oysters have to be scraped clean every 6 months due to all the marine life developing on any surface it can find. I would have expected the containers to provide the same support, but perhaps there is a toxicity component to this.
The tracking numbers on the containers made it so we could find out what is in the container. This one contains steel belted tires. Removal of containers from the deep sea would be very difficult and expensive. There are groups working on getting better systems for lashing down the containers, which would help prevent future containers from being lost at sea.

+Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) Would opening it expose more surfaces to wildlife in any substantial way, as I believe many species make use of the spaces inside of rock formations? Maybe that would increase the number of predator/prey relationships and lead to more diversity.
Very interesting! Related to this I highly recommend reading 'Into The Raging Sea', the true story of the ill-fated cargo ship the El Faro that headed straight into Hurricane Joaquin off San Salvador Island in the Bahamas and sank to 15,000 feet with 100's of shipping containers and automobiles aboard. All 33 crewmembers aboard perished. The book is based on black box recordings of all bridge conversations until the final moments. Additionally the author diligently adds context by delving into owners of the vessel and industry politics surrounding maritime shipping. I think measures can be taken through technology to ensure that some containers can be retrieved quickly, or at least send automatic GPS location so that we can track and evaluate the potential threat to the seafloor ecosystem based on the container contents. But check out the book!!!
Barring toxic or contaminating contents, what is the harm of the container being on the seafloor? For decades we have scuttled ships to create artificial reefs - and I assume those ships have similar paint to the containers.
+Brian Folks Not really, after the war we've found more toxic or synthetic compounds to prevent ship corrosion. But you're right that it shouldn't be a harm normally. Artificial reefs is a great idea in my opinion.
+Brian Folks anything unnatural is obviously uncharted territory. On an empty seabed you're adding a massive metal structure... its a habitat more suited for different organisms and thus upsetting the balance of that ecosystem.

Alright new idea. Cargo crate recovery buisness! As long as those crates withstand pressure what they are transporting is probably still worth a lot of money. And if they are reporting lost crates you could already have an idea of where they are at.
Be interesting to pull it up in another 10 years and see if any organisms have colonized inside. For now, drill a small hole and do a Spectrochemical analysis of the water inside of the container to see what is leaching. Since there is a high stagnation state there, should get some pretty strong results. Working at Monterey bay would be a dream job. Deep ocean physics are fascinating.
Marine Sanctuaries typically don't prohibit all activities within them. There are lots of stakeholders and users (commercial, recreational, fishing) that may be restricted, but not prohibited. You can learn more here: montereybay.noaa.gov
+LoverDino >Recreational fishermen are definitely more of a danger to wildlife than "accidental" garbage or oilspills. Do you seriously think this or expect others too? Take a good look at Valdez and the Deepwater events. Recreational fishermen pay alot of money to fish, compared to commercial or damage from spills and that money maintains areas like this. Not to mention a HazMat route is for Hazardous Materials. It's all good until a drum of solvent starts to leak or many.
***** I was being sarcastic mate. People like to blame recreational fisherman but never look at the real problems like polllution (MLPA allows pollution but bans regular fishing, what a joke) and MLPA is also headed by someone who was a previous Oil Chairman.
Gotcha lol. If people really knew why the Samoans turned to piracy they would be shocked. It had alot to do with barrels of radioactive waste being dumped off their beaches. Then the crap leaking and causing fetal deaths and deformations. It destroyed their fishing and lively hood. That's why they turned to piracy, after getting the run around from the global community.
like the shipping company that lost the container in the first place, needs to be reliable to retrieve it...drop a hook down, hook it up and wench it to the top...no no lets leave it there.. lmfao PS it doesn't matter the cost, fix the problem!!
wish they would have mentioned what was inside the container. it also makes me wonder what impact "artificial" reefs" have on the environment despite our most sincere efforts to build habitat.
The slow colonization by local species may be in part due to the container being a relative newcomer and deep ocean species are relatively slow growing due to lower temperatures and fewer nutrients in the seawater T that depth.
Most containers are not filled up completely. I've seen containers that only had 9 bulk items in them. It's just cheaper to ship a container then air shipping. It cost a average of $1,300 one way to ship by cargo container.
This container contains steel belted tires for anyone who is wondering what's inside.

What species are the crabs at 3:39? I've never seen a crab like them and, trust me, I know my crabs.
These are Lithodes couesi dsg.mbari.org/dsg/view/concept/Lithodes%20couesi
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) Thank you very much.
that's why I didn't get my item from eBay. it's lying on the bottem

gaming Jehart sorry .. typing to fast
Ok. Its fine :)
My gosh what did you choose for your shipping option? LOL...I mean I get not paying for shipping, but damn hahahaha
jamie de jong eBay items are sent via airmail. Sea shipping is reserved for heavy bulk cargo.
Put a cable on it and pull it up! I bet it was full of made in China crap anyway.
The crap u and your mother buy.
You mean a 1250 meters reinforced steel cable? I don't think so....
Yeah, it's over 4000 feet deep soooooo... notsomuch
Im 99% sure whatever you used to type your ignorant comment was either fully or partly manufactured in China, ‘butch’
Like American flags?
When she says a word with an S its like knives in my ear
Yup the prolonged sharp pronunciation is kinda irritating.
@@michaelangeloudarbe8480 If they ran the audio through audacity they could have removed the Piercing S spund

Be interesting to pull it up in another 10 years and see if any organisms have colonized inside. For now, drill a small hole and do a Spectrochemical analysis of the water inside of the container to see what is leaching. Since there is a high stagnation state there, should get some pretty strong results. Working at Monterey bay would be a dream job. Deep ocean physics are fascinating.
Go do it, Mate! Work at MBA, I mean. Just go do it.
My issue is why are there shippng routes across a marine sanctuary
Marine Sanctuaries typically don't prohibit all activities within them. There are lots of stakeholders and users (commercial, recreational, fishing) that may be restricted, but not prohibited. You can learn more here: montereybay.noaa.gov

Yup. Recreational fishermen are definitely more of a danger to wildlife than "accidental" garbage or oilspills. Remember corporations>people! ;)
+LoverDino >Recreational fishermen are definitely more of a danger to wildlife than "accidental" garbage or oilspills.
Do you seriously think this or expect others too? Take a good look at Valdez and the Deepwater events. Recreational fishermen pay alot of money to fish, compared to commercial or damage from spills and that money maintains areas like this. Not to mention a HazMat route is for Hazardous Materials. It's all good until a drum of solvent starts to leak or many.

I was being sarcastic mate. People like to blame recreational fisherman but never look at the real problems like polllution (MLPA allows pollution but bans regular fishing, what a joke) and MLPA is also headed by someone who was a previous Oil Chairman.
Gotcha lol. If people really knew why the Samoans turned to piracy they would be shocked. It had alot to do with barrels of radioactive waste being dumped off their beaches. Then the crap leaking and causing fetal deaths and deformations. It destroyed their fishing and lively hood. That's why they turned to piracy, after getting the run around from the global community.
Josie, does what the container have inside affect the surrounding sea life at all? was it determined to be a non issue?
like the shipping company that lost the container in the first place, needs to be reliable to retrieve it...drop a hook down, hook it up and wench it to the top...no no lets leave it there.. lmfao PS it doesn't matter the cost, fix the problem!!
It's over 4000 feet deep.
That's not happening.
А когда его будут поднимать, хотелось посмотреть что внутри 👍
wish they would have mentioned what was inside the container. it also makes me wonder what impact "artificial" reefs" have on the environment despite our most sincere efforts to build habitat.

It was posted 6 years ago. Does anyone know where I can find the results of this study??
Or something about it...
The slow colonization by local species may be in part due to the container being a relative newcomer and deep ocean species are relatively slow growing due to lower temperatures and fewer nutrients in the seawater T that depth.
The container in the video had more than a thousand Steel Belted Tires inside it. Just for anyone curious as to what the contents were.
Most containers are not filled up completely. I've seen containers that only had 9 bulk items in them. It's just cheaper to ship a container then air shipping. It cost a average of $1,300 one way to ship by cargo container.
XVIRUSTV --- tires? that's energy gone to waste. those old tires could be used to fuel a furnace at a cement factory 🤔
You can’t get a thousand tires into one of those, bud. Guess again.
@@davidlanham99 There's exactly 1,159 tires in it, all you gotta do is read.
@@carlspackler91 A 53' can only hold about 350 tires. And read what, btw?
