Lost in Transit

LOST INTRANST PRODUCTS, PACKAGES AND MATERIALS ARE SHIPPED BY LAND, SEA & AIR EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY. BUT HOW MUCH OF THAT CARGO NEVER MAKES IT TO THE DESTINATION? LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE DAMAGES, DISASTERS, PLUNDERING AND PIRATING THAT OCCURS WHEN LOADS ARE SHIPPED BACK AND FORTH ACROS THE WORLD. THERE IS AN ESTIMATED 5.5 MILLION SHIPPING CONTAINERS ON CARGO SHIPS SAILING ACROSS THE WORLD'S OCEANS. IN ORDER TO SAVE A SHIP IN DANGER OF SINKING DURING A STORM, SOME OF THE CARGO MAY HAVE TO BE THROWN OVERBOARD. THE SHIP OWNER AND THE OWNERS OF THE SAVED CARGO OBVIOUSLY BENEFIT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OWNERS OF THE JETTISONED CARGO. A SHIPPING CONTAINER FILLED WITH RUBBER DUCKIES WAS LOST AT SEA IN 1992, AND THE BATH TOYS ARE STILL WASHING ASHORE TODAY. THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION NOTES THAT 10,000 CONTAINERS ARE DAMAGED DURING SEA TRANSPORT EACH YEAR. 3,000 -4,000 ARE LOST OVERBOARD ANNUALLY.
