Please, what happened to the container contents? Salvaged? Resold as damaged goods? Taken to the dump? Again, many thanks for your terrific coverage!

At the time of year, many Christmas presents were loaded from China to the USA. More than half, maybe 80%, of the cargo, which reached Kobe in a crumbling heap, was eventually delivered to the US in the spring. The full extent of the accident has not been made public due to insurance liability issues. (Individual enquiry forms were provided to shippers.) These figures are only estimates based on my three months of observation in the field. But the shipper was not satisfied with the company's answer and even asked me to photograph the container number and put it up in the next video. He confirmed this using a method that allowed AI to recognise and extract the number from the video. (He received the package in the spring.) I was able to prove that even without official action by government agencies, the private sector can contribute to resolving incidents on a private basis (and still on a volunteer basis). Again, ocean lovers are united in Ocean. And now we believe that the freedom route is connected across the Bosporus to Odessa, Ukraine❣️

In addition, this video shows the gantry crane performing its God-given task. The operations manual states that the crane is to lift vertically and horizontally. But that doesn't remove collapsed containers. From the frame on the crane side, four rope lengths are adjusted to suit the inclination of the container. Then, from the boom crane, workers hook the container's ratchet ropes. The container is lifted at an inclined angle. This is an operation outside the manual. It is the wisdom of Kobe. Other techniques were also developed, such as parking the gantry in front of the gantry instead of directly above it and pulling it out at an angle. Early double cranes were inefficient and, with strict safety checks, the pace was two a day. But by using gantry cranes and variable wires, the efficiency was improved to more than 10 containers per day. When the containers could not be ratcheted off due to deformation, they were cut with a welding machine. In cases where the contents overflowed, they were wrapped in a basket-like net and lifted. The video, which you can watch in chronological order, documents the improvement in rescue techniques. I am a medical professional, not a ship expert. I hope that this collection of videos will be of assistance to ship and port professionals in their research.
I'm a Japanese citizen, but I'm giving you this video because foreign journalists are not allowed to enter Japan because of Corona. I hope it will give people around the world who are waiting for their belongings an idea of the situation. The dockworkers in Kobe are working hard, even giving up their Christmas holidays. God bless them and keep them safe.

Nice video! How long do you think they will finish the unloading? I unfortunately have a container on this ship :(

elease says it will take more than a month. There is currently no announcement on the inspection regime and reshipment after the cargo has been unloaded. An investigation into the condition of the missing, damaged and decayed items is also still to be carried out. The first method of loading and unloading with the crane looked like it would take six months. However, if the recent idea of attaching hooks to the gantry crane works, I imagine that the thousands of pieces on the scattered decks could be unloaded much faster than that. In any case, the recovery work has only just begun, so it's still too early to predict. I hope that my series of videos will be of use to experts in forecasting damage and preventing accidents. As a result, I wish you all the best and hope that your parcels arrive exactly as they should.

They should have used two electro magnet, the type they used for scrap metal to pick up the container

That's a good idea. It's suitable for clothing and food. However, precision machines and electronic parts may be affected by the magnetic force. In addition, the storm would have stirred up the inside of the container, damaging the cushioning material, and the top and bottom might be upside down. The container number would give us an idea of the contents, but it would be difficult to sort out the magnetically resistant containers from that complex overlap.

The steel of the container is not thick enough for the necessary magnetic flux density.
@Drkotoh3 жыл бұрын
@@frankschultz4170 You're right, there's not enough steel to lift it magnetically. The corresponding containers are too heavy for truck distribution, and if you stack up ONE APUS container, the lower part will collapse under its own weight. The current sea container is the perfect balance between steel thickness and durability for transportation.

@@Drkotoh Thank you. We have three TEUs with insulated and finished interior walls and 3-phase 208-Volt electrical and air conditioning for each for our business. Another problem with using electromagnets is that the roofs are sort of corrugated (for structural strength) and not flat - about half the surface area contactable by a scrapper's magnet... By the way, did you notice that a few of the containers were burst, shredded, collapsed, folded and flattened like paper or cloth? At first, I thought they were torn tarpaulins...
@Drkotoh3 жыл бұрын
@@frankschultz4170 You are right. The corrugated roof is supposed to be both lightweight and strong, but the magnetism doesn't help. I consciously didn't take any close-up photos of the paper-like containers after they were unloaded. This is to ensure the privacy of the shipper and the contents. (If you search, you will find many broken images etc.) Up to the container number, it is public data, but we consider the contents to be the same as personal underwear. For the sake of liability and compensation, the shipping company's disclosure is limited. As this is such a big accident, I think there will be social responsibility for the shippers.
Great vid ! Just wondering how long it took to unload a single container? must be a while if your not showing all of it.

In the case of the first two cranes we tried, it took one hour for slinging and safety checks, followed by one hour for lifting. A modified process, in which the gantry crane was fitted with a wire at the end, took less than 30 minutes. Please refer to the following pages for a description of each operation.
