Vladivostok ferry looses cars over the side
 

That's a remarkable video. OK, so the cars weren't strapped down in any way, you'd certainly think you put on the parking brakes! Many of the cars are just rolling around, it certainly looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Not to mention that I wouldn't think it would be very safe for the ship to have tons of wheeled objects rolling to and fro with the waves...

Disaster
 

Wow ,, insane.
Those are are probably bought FOB (Free On Board) meaning, insurance to the consignee.
Owners will claim negligence, due to non lashing and securing and parking, in neutral, as any normal deck cargo should be. Ship owner will claim force majeure.
Inshallah,, good luck.
Hard to get reimursed on these cars.

Insane.....

In case people are worried this is not the car ferry to Vladivostok most of us would use. Looking at the ship I guess it is a general cargo ship bringing second hand card info Russia from Japan (none of the cars appear to have plates on them). Also the cars appear to have been strapped to the deck initially- if you look carefully you can see the broken straps on the deck. It must have been some storm conditions the ship passed through before this video was taken. Loss of deck cargo from ships is not as unusual as people might think - if you Google the loud of containers at sea you will come across some frightening statistics.
