​APL England – First Notice

A3C Service - MV APL England

Heavy Weather incident off east coast of Australia - Cargo Damaged and Lost

Dear Customer,

We regret to advise that the APL England (the “Vessel”) has experienced heavy weather off the coast of Sydney causing significant rolling of the Vessel. During this event, several containers were damaged falling to the deck and overboard.

The exact number of containers damaged and overboard is yet to be confirmed. We are working with the vessel operator to determine those containers affected as soon as possible.

As a result of this incident, the Vessel has had to change its scheduled ports of call rotation and will now head to Brisbane for further assessment before continuing her voyage.

The vessel operator (ANL) has advised the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) and is working with authorities to perform all necessary operations safely and swiftly.

OOCL will keep customers apprised of all information as it becomes available and we thank you for your cooperation in this time.

Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support of OOCL. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our local customer representatives.

Yours faithfully,

OOCL (Australia) Pty Ltd.
