\n crack amidships and ingressing water in the hold. This made it
\nimpossible for the vessel to continue on under its own power.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\nSome
\n of the containers on the vessel were lost overboard or suffered damage

\n Vessels previously Stopped in Halifax as part of the Grand Alliance
\nwith K-line, MOL is also a partner on the new G6 Alliance, which will
\nsee Yantain Express making regular calls to Halifax, though MOL will not be providing vessels to this service.<\/p>\nUPDATE: MOL Comfort was previously APL Russia. APL will once again be calling in Halifax as part of the G6 Alliance. MOL Comfort was relatively new, Built in 2008, and at 4500TEU well within the size of vessel that normally calls in halifax.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: It seems the 2 haves are still Afloat.<\/p>\n
