PORT ANGELES – No missing cargo is floating in Port Angeles Harbor, although there might be some in the Bay of Alaska.
The Ever Unific, a Panamanian-flagged container ship owned by Evergreen Marine Corp. in Tacoma, limped into Port Angeles Harbor early Friday with several of its containers knocked over and some looking ready to fall overboard.
The ship, which can carry more than 5,600 shipping containers, left Tokyo on Jan. 25.
It was scheduled to arrive in Tacoma on Friday.
But it encountered “hurricane-type weather” in the Bay of Alaska on Jan. 30 and lost 20 containers overboard, according to Barbara Yeninas, president of BSY Associates Inc., Evergreen’s public relations firm.
Another 67 containers collapsed and another seven were indented, she said.
“No one was hurt and the ship’s in good condition,” Yeninas said.
She didn’t provide information about what type of cargo the ship was carrying.
