Container loss in Callao Bay

On Aug 1, 2025, the 'Ever Lunar' lost approximately 50 containers, while being anchored in pos. S 12° 01' W 077° 12' in the Callao Bay. The container ship experienced severe rolling, causing the containers at the stern to fall into the sea. The incident prompted a temporary closure of the Port of Callao, disrupting cargo operations and vessel traffic in the region. Operations at the DP World Callao, APM Terminals and other facilities were suspended. Maritime security advisories were issued, and vessel movements were halted throughout the bay. The National Emergency Operations Centre (Coen) of the National Institute of Civil Defence (Indeci) confirmed that the containers did not contain hazardous goods. The National Port Authority (APN) reported that recovery operations would be undertaken by specialized salvage companies under the coordination of the Maritime Authority. Two patrol boats, the 'Costa Sama' and 'Río Chira', were deployed to secure the area while tugs 'Ram Vigo' and 'Tiamat' were deployed to the vessel, in the Callao Bay to assist in removing floating containers. The relevant authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the incident. Video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wNGoxpN5qpA
