Surgical masks have reportedly washed up on Australia's east coast after a cargo ship lost dozens of containers in rough seas over the weekend, according to officials. 2020 ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON MAY BE 'EXTREMELY ACTIVE,' WITH 13 TO 19 NAMED STORMS, NOAA SAYSAMSA said Tuesday the ship lost "about 40 containers" while en route from Ningbo, China to Melbourne, Australia. "These correlate to drift modeling of debris and are consistent with items listed on the ship’s cargo manifest." The incident on Sunday was not the first time the ship lost containers near Australia. AMSA said that the APL England previously lost 37 containers in the Great Australian Bight in August 2016 due to "heavy rolling" in rough seas.
