A trade group says some 250 million containers cross the oceans every year &#8211; but not everything arrives as planned. More than 20,000 shipping containers have tumbled overboard in the last decade and a half.<\/p>\n<p>Their varied contents have washed onto shorelines, poisoned fisheries and animal habitats, and added to swirling ocean trash vortexes. Most containers eventually sink to the seafloor and are never retrieved. Cargo ships can lose anywhere from a single container to hundreds at a time in rough seas. Experts disagree on how many are lost each year. The World Shipping Council, an industry group, reports that, on average, about 1,500 were lost annually over the 16 years they\u2019ve tracked &#8211; though fewer in recent years. Others say the real number is much higher, as the shipping council data doesn\u2019t include the entire industry and there are no penalties for failing to report losses publicly.<\/p>\n<p>More than 80 per cent of international trade by volume arrives by sea. All this cargo travels on increasingly vast ships. \u201cOn the modern big ships, it\u2019s like a high-rise building,\u201d said Jos Koning, a senior project manager at MARIN, a Netherlands-based maritime research organisation that studies shipping risks. Today\u2019s largest cargo vessels are longer than three football fields, with cranes required to lift containers and stack them in towering columns.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/03\/time-capsules-of-toxic-consumption-what-happens-to-the-shipping-containers-lost-at-sea\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-608\/\">\u2018Time capsules\u2019 of toxic consumption: What happens to the shipping containers lost at sea<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4375,575,16368,5393],"class_list":["post-134327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-consumption","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-shipping-container","tag-toxic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134327\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
