“Not Under Command”:\u00a0Maersk Container Ship Adrift Off US East Coast After Engine Room Explosion<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A 335.5-meter container ship has been adrift off the U.S. East Coast for more than a week after an engine room explosion knocked out its propulsion system.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“The MAERSK SANA, a containership en route from Newark, USA to Singapore, remains not under command in the Atlantic off Bermu<\/strong>da” after “an\u00a0engine room explosion<\/strong> disabled her propulsion on April 28,” the ship tracking website MarineTraffic<\/a> wrote on X.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

MarineTraffic provided more clarity on Sana’s status:<\/p>\n

“The vessel came to a halt at 13:35 UTC that day and has been drifting ever since. MarineTraffic data confirms no signs of resumed movement, and her remote mid-ocean position has delayed the arrival of <\/em>salvage assistance<\/em><\/strong>. A tug was dispatched from Mexico, according to reports, but with the \u00a0Maersk Sana positioned in the middle of the ocean, response time has stretched over days.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Maersk’s statement, a\u00a0towage vessel is\u00a0expected to make contact with the Maersk Sana this week. At the time of the engine room explosion, the 8,450-TEU vessel, built in 2004 and flagged in Singapore, was sailing\u00a0Maersk’s Transpacific TP11 service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Safety is of paramount importance, and we will take the learnings from our investigation to avoid similar incidents in the future,” Maersk said.<\/p>\n

No details were provided about the source of the engine room explosion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
