As the containers were used to store medical supplies like face masks, many of them were washed ashore to several beaches in Sydney, like Magenta Beach and The Entrance.

As a result, Sydney beaches had to close temporarily to clean up the mess.

Among the items lost from the fallen containers are:

  • Household appliances, like air-conditioning ducts
  • Building materials
  • Medical supplies, like face masks
  • Plastic containers.

AMSA said investigations pertaining to the ship’s compliance with Australian and international maritime safety standards, and Australian environmental protection regulations, are ongoing.
