Eyewitnesses took to social media on Tuesday to voice their concerns: “I watched the Cosco São Paulo wallowing about one nautical mile off Ocean View before sunset, often broadside to the 7m swell and 40-knot wind, listing and rolling quite alarmingly,” said one commentator.
“Couldn’t understand why she wasn’t being straightened to face the swell ... stayed broadside on for quite some time.” Another post drew attention to a helicopter circling in the area — possibly on the lookout for lost containers. “Helicopter now doing a grid search inside of [Robben] Island and towards the harbour! Does point to containers having gone overboard and now posing quite a shipping hazard as they tend to float below the surface,” the post read.
SA coastal authorities were put on full alert early on Monday, as was Cape Town's fire and rescue department, TimesLIVE has established.
