Quoting: SOS 59758343 Ships are piling up, but it's NOT because of increased demand. The ships are not unloading. The gantry cranes are idle. The cargo is being intentionally held up. "pandemic-related disruption to schedules" is BULLSHIT too. There are many thousands of longshoremen and dock workers waiting to be dispatched from the hiring halls. They continue to wait because the ships are not allowed to disharge their cargo. Truck drivers too. Why are you on here publishing their propaganda? This entire mess is 100% intentional. Collapse the supply chain. Collapse the economy. Create "order from chaos" in the form of top-down centrtalized management under socialism, which will be deemed necessary due to massive unemployment, poverty and widespread hunger bordering upon famine. |

"Listening to Victoria harbor comms: there is hesitancy by the captain of ZOI, another container ship, to leave Constance Bay anchorage. The captain may have legitimate concerns: a gale warning is in effect, and considering how the #ZimKingston story started, I don't blame him."

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 59758343 Canada 10/24/2021 12:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The situation is evolving, coast guard spokesperson Michelle Imbeau said Saturday evening. Coast guard has been standing by making sure life and limb are OK. The ship is being monitored by two coast guard vessels and an auxiliary firefighting vessel. When the crew has evacuated, when there are no people left on the vessel, then they'll do some oceanside firefighting, Hogan said. Canada and the United States Coast guard officials have issued warnings to mariners to keep clear of the Zim Kingston due to the danger of smoke and falling cargo. A broadcast was also issued by the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center that the containers may be be partially submerged and not easily visible from the ocean's surface. Mariners should exercise extreme caution when transiting the region, the centre warned. So far, just eight of the lost containers had been located as of 4 p.m. on Friday, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard's 13th District in Seattle, Wash.

Some of the containers that fell off the ship also contained hazardous materials, although they aren't saying what those hazardous materials are yet. I suspect its more of that toxic PAX shit. Quote The Canadian Coast Guard told the outlet some of the containers that fell held hazardous materials, and that the agency would assess for any "pollution threats and hazards."
