Oh, something to ask an expert. Look at the dent in the top of
that container.
Doesn't it look like the corner of another container got dropped on
top of it?


Entirely possible


Maybe more than one fell off the ship and the one in the
water got hit by another one dropping down on it???


Entirely possible.

And why do they float? Do they have waterproof gaskets on the
doors?


Not a container expert but the reefers are far better sealed than the non
reefers. All containers have a pretty good seal but I wouldn't call it
"waterproof".
As for floating...... depends on what's inside..... load of lead, sink like
a rock..... load of packing peanuts in hermetically sealed bags, float
forever.


reefers also have foot thick foam walls, great floation.

Joe




Cheers,
Ellen

Be careful Scotty. I've seen some second-hand posts from Capt. JG.
You shouldn't talk about thickness around his kind.... :-)))))))))))))))

Neal sounds like he's getting desperate. Don't bend over in his presence ...
