‘A large fleet named “Mol Comfort” carrying Arms for FSA from the
U.S. has crashed in the Indian Ocean as it made its way from Singapore
to Jeddah, on board were 4,500 containers loaded with arms for the
Syrian rebels’‘MOL Comfort sank due to yet unclear reasons, sailing from Singapore to Jeddah and after that to North Europe, leaving behind hundreds of drifting containers and a huge aftershock hitting liner sector and all of the maritime industry.
Even
the scale of the consequences is hard, impossible, to estimate, not to
mention consequences themselves. This is the 1st case in liner sector,
when modern ocean-going liner container vessel (built in Japan!) sank in
the ocean after breaking in 2 parts, like a poorly built and managed
bulk carrier or over aged coaster. Nothing like this ever occurred, and
no one believed it was possible, even theoretically. It just could not
happen, but still, here it is.’
