A recent article highlighted a string of containers that have fallen off of shipping vessels in recent months. Some shipping experts say that it is caused by a change in the direction of waves causing rolling pitches on the vessels. The experts also say that taller ships with more containers stacked on top of each other are less sturdy, contributing to the increase in falling containers.

I was in a clubhouse room run by Zakia Rashid called Blue Planet this week and there was a discussion about oil spills at sea. Not the huge oil spills that we hear about on the news, but small spills that not many people ever hear about. I discuss why these spills happen and how certain countries are trying to do something about these spills in terms of further protection.
