How did ONE APUS lose more than 1,800 containers in the Pacific?

Most people see a massive container ship. Few people think about what keeps thousands of containers in place. This isn’t just the story of ONE APUS. It’s the story of the engineering designed to keep an enormous cargo stack secure — and what happened when extraordinary forces pushed that system to its limits. Twist locks. Lashing rods. Thousands of connections. Everything was engineered to keep the cargo secure. But on November 30, 2020, everything changed. ⸻ 🎥 Want to See ONE APUS Up Close?
