Several container ships experienced damage and loss of cargo due to severe weather conditions and heavy seas over the years. Notable incidents included the Ital Florida losing containers in 2007 due to 7-10 meter high waves in the Arabian Sea, the NYK Antares losing around 52 containers in the North Sea due to severe weather, and the MSC Napoli nearly capsizing and running aground in the English Channel during a heavy storm which resulted in many container losses. Other ships like the MSC Carla, CSAV Shenzhen, OOCL America, and APL China also sustained container damage and losses from being hit by bad weather in open oceans.
