A large container ship named “Mol Comfort” carrying arms from the U.S. has sunk in the Indian Ocean as it made its way from Singapore to Jeddah on route to Syria, on board were 4,500 containers loaded with arms for the Syrian rebels’
‘MOL Comfort sank due to yet unclear reasons, sailing from Singapore to Jeddah and after that to North Europe, leaving behind hundreds of drifting containers and a huge aftershock hitting liner sector and all of the maritime industry.
Even the scale of the consequences is hard, impossible, to estimate, not to mention consequences themselves. This is the 1st case in liner sector, when a modern ocean-going liner container vessel (built in Japan!) sank in the ocean after breaking in 2.
