Dozens of containers tumble into water at California port
By Sandy Hooper and Lisa Baertlein
LOS ANGELES, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Roughly 67 shipping containers fell from a berthed ship into the water at Southern California's Port of Long Beach on Tuesday morning, emergency responders at the nation's second-busiest seaport said.
No injuries were reported and no other port operations were affected.
The containers fell from the 837-foot (255 m) Portugal-flagged Mississippi while it was berthed at the Pier G container terminal.
A smaller barge connected to the vessel was damaged by some of the fallen containers, according to Unified Command, which includes the U.S. Coast Guard, the Long Beach fire and police departments, the Port of Long Beach and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The Mississippi arrived in Long Beach from China's Yantian port, according to LSEG data.
Cargo operations at the terminal were temporarily suspended as crews worked to secure the containers, Port of Long Beach public information officer Art Marroquin said.
The incident is being investigated, Marroquin added.
