#1 Except that the Dali reportedly had to stop taking on cargo the day before due to power failures twice.

#2 An early report I read spoke of the repeated power outages aboard the Dale while at dockside, with the cause attributed to the immense power load and wiring needed to service the excessive number of on-board containers with air-conditioning/temperature control settings for perishable cargo. The inference was a mix of overloaded electrical demand linked to spotty maintenance, and human error and violation of capacity for profit?

#5 It appears to be one shipment the looters of Baltimore are not so eager to exploit. I guess size does matter.

#6 Black people don't swim, so those containers are unreachable.

#7 Baltimore is supposed to be one of the top ports for outgoing stolen vehicles, so it might be interesting to see what's in some of the boxes. I was told two vehicles per container, headed for Africa and south Asia.
Which, as a coincidence, is where it was going.
