Ship that stopped in Port Angeles lost cargo at sea

PORT ANGELES — A 1,100-foot Panamanian container ship that made port in Port Angeles on Monday lost cargo while at sea, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Hanjin Seattle lost 35 reportedly empty containers while 29 containers fell on the deck due to rough seas during transit from Long Beach, Calif., to Seattle.

Of those that fell on the deck, 22 were full of cargo, said Lt. Dana Warr in an email.

The incident happened in Canadian waters, he said.
