Shipping containers with more hazardous contents are shipped on a part of the ship that would be impossible for those containers to fall off. The containers that are stacked the highest and end up falling off have things like clothing, shoes, and other materials that are very low on the toxicity scale compared to the content of the other containers. Refrigerated and sensitive cargo containers are shipped inside the belly of the ships to where it is impossible for them to simply tip and fall off during a storm or other dangerous event. So it is very highly unlikely that this container or any others on the ocean floor have hazardous or extremely toxic materials inside. Just as the narrator said, it is the paint on the container that is the concern.

+Choppington Otter I know the containers need to be air-tight to ensure their product gets transported safely, but I think they should put a pressure valve that pops upon dropping in the ocean. I'm sure they submerge 10 or 15 feet when falling off a ship, which should be enough to trigger it. Life rafts inflate upon hitting the water, which is triggered by a co2 cartridge or something similar.

Quite interesting. I worked on a pearl farm in the south pacific a long time ago. The pearl oysters are strung on cables suspended about 50ft underwater in the middle of an atoll's lagoon. The oysters have to be scraped clean every 6 months due to all the marine life developing on any surface it can find. I would have expected the containers to provide the same support, but perhaps there is a toxicity component to this.

Time to investigate was limited by a busy cruise schedule, but they shot some quick video and recorded the location of the container. Following up on the container number revealed its cargo to be 1,159 steel-belted automobile tires"

Very interesting! Related to this I highly recommend reading 'Into The Raging Sea', the true story of the ill-fated cargo ship the El Faro that headed straight into Hurricane Joaquin off San Salvador Island in the Bahamas and sank to 15,000 feet with 100's of shipping containers and automobiles aboard. All 33 crewmembers aboard perished. The book is based on black box recordings of all bridge conversations until the final moments. Additionally the author diligently adds context by delving into owners of the vessel and industry politics surrounding maritime shipping. I think measures can be taken through technology to ensure that some containers can be retrieved quickly, or at least send automatic GPS location so that we can track and evaluate the potential threat to the seafloor ecosystem based on the container contents. But check out the book!!!

Since there is a high stagnation state there, should get some pretty strong results. Working at Monterey bay would be a dream job. Deep ocean physics are fascinating.

@@RaheelPervaiz123On the contrary I would argue that it is the quite literally the most positive impact our species has on the ocean (if not the whole planet since that isn’t all that common). The abyssal plain is a desert of sediment pounded into dust by the ocean. Many ecologists might protest me characterizing the abyssal plain as a “desert” but that’s exactly what it is. That’s the terrestrial ecosystem it shares the most in common with, and even if it’s more like the Sonora than the Atacama, a desert is still a desert. They are defined not so much by life but by its comparative absence. Compared to the abyssal plain, harder substrates of any kind, pretty much always have greater levels of diversity than the surrounding plain. It matters not where that substrate came from. All that being said, the problems begin when the newer “additions” leak oil or other problematic chemicals.

100,000,000 containers are shipped every year. About 1 in 10,000 is lost (1% of 1%), so 10,000 are lost every year. 10,000 times 20 years, makes at least 200,000 lost containers on the ocean floor. As someone mentioned, at 5:33 it looks like this container was opened. There could be a scam: ship an empty container. During transit, open a full container, transfer its contents to the empty container, and then "lose" the empty container. Insurance pays for the lost container and contents - except that the contents weren't lost. 1,159 tires, at $30 apiece (guess of the cost) = $34,770. Not a huge haul.

Ten thousand containers lost per year sounds like a lot, but it averages out to less than one per thirty-six thousand square kilometers of sea floor. That's an area larger than the state of Massachusetts! Obviously the density is higher along shipping routes, but the overall ecological impact must be trivial compared to that from other sources of marine debris and pollution. Nevertheless, this is fascinating research! I hope you are able to continue "checking up" on this container every few years to observe the long term changes.

Then the crap leaking and causing fetal deaths and deformations. It destroyed their fishing and lively hood. That's why they turned to piracy, after getting the run around from the global community.

Forgive my ignorance but in the first picture when the container fell there was nothing here it was barren Now there is a ton of sea life so doesn't that mean the shipping container is promoting the proliferation of sea life?

One problem is that depending on what's inside them, they don't all sink but float just beneath the surface. This causes havoc to any small ship that hits them. You can't see them on AIS, you can't see them on radar, you can't see them on sonar due to the clutter from the waves and they're difficult to spot visually by your watch. It's like hitting a steel iceberg.

the damage may not be bad if the containers aren't carrying chemicals are anything that can pollute the sea floor. the metal provides a reef after time passes. metal can be eaten away after 3-5 decades because salt breaks down the metal and eats it away

The tracking numbers on the containers made it so we could find out what is in the container. This one contains steel belted tires. Removal of containers from the deep sea would be very difficult and expensive. There are groups working on getting better systems for lashing down the containers, which would help prevent future containers from being lost at sea.

Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) so they decided to leave the container down their to see how it effected its surrounding environment. Thats foul to let it poison another environment just to study it lol. I wouldnt drink the surrounding water as im sure you all wouldn't either so why study that. thats like a child dropping mattel cars in a fish tank to see what happens.

Just as there are few ancient iron artifacts but plenty of bronze and copper artifacts due to corrosion. There will be little left of these containers for archaeologists of the future. The steel would've corroded away and sea life would've destroyed everything else. If it sinks into an hypoxic zone then maybe there will be something left for archaeologists to see.

So it is evident that these containers are expendable and no doubt considered the cost of doing business and the reason why insurance premiums rise as the cost of goods and materials rise. They could do recovery using tracking devices but that would take regulations requiring such actions.

proof that inner city marinas are good for the water quality, I work in a harbor where the bottom is toxic and dead, however the pilings and docks have swarms of life on them which clean some of the water every minute of the day. in addition the ducks lay their eggs under the docks and live among them . Harbors that have sewage problems should have lots of structure there to enable this natural cleaning action to take place before the water reaches the ocean. i understand the dreaded zebra mussel is cleaning the great lakes to the detriment of other wildlife but natural or native species should be encouraged however they can be.

I thought that it looked like quite a good community on the container, considering it had only been there for four months, and I have seen what those perfectly prepared boats/ships look like, after a similar time period in the shallows, where there’s a lot more life that can inhabit something that rises up from the sea floor like that.!.!.!. I did wonder, which way the water runs down there, because if it was running from one side to the other, then the whole length would have a lee side(or both sides will be the lee side when the tide changes, if that happens down that deep), which is not as good for laying eggs on, because it cuts down the amount of water that runs over it, but if the water runs down the length of it, then it should end up with a uniform amount of life living over most of it, but there’s a lot of slow growing, long lived sponges that will take their time to grow, if they can find the right place to live on it.!.!.!.!.

The container will eventually rust through and potentially release the tires, if they are buoyant. But long before any tires escape, smaller holes in the container -they are never airtight anyway, will allow sea water, sand, and organisms to move in and setup habitats inside the tires and may be enough weight to keep them on the bottom.

I'm relatively surprised, approaching shock really, that the institute would not have researched what the containers cargo was, and how that might also impact the area when the hull is finally breeched by rust and rot of the seals. It could be anything from plastic toys from china to industrial chemicals or compounds. Perhaps toxic containers should have a short range beacon in the event that they fall overboard to assist in retrieval if possible and where necessary. Im sure 95 percent of these containers, even if they were full of engines or something pose little risk because if the relatively small amount compared to the vastness of the overall environment and fluid system, combined with the length of time it would take for any materials to slowly leech out over many decades. Also, it has to be said, the wildlife seems to like the container so far, and not all areas have the plant life you described. I know it is popular in academia to assume that this evil container is keeping the more delicate plants away, but lets be realists and admit that this is very unlikely to be the case. The really delicate plants are not ALL over the bottom of the ocean in this area for the very reason mentioned. They are more delicate, and prefer a specific environment, whether shallow or deep, warmer or cooler, in current or stagnant areas, etc. I despise watching what I assume to be a scientific documentary, and then have it turn into a lecture of assumptions based on ZERO evidence within the documentary. That paint may resist direct attachment of some rare species, although most seem to like it a lot, but even if that was the case, the science does not support the idea that the surrounding areas of soil would have high levels of paint ingredient within them. This paint does not rot overnight, and to the extent that microscopic particals come off of it slowly over time, they are likely to be spread over a very large area indeed, to the extent that the entire preserve would already be affected, by something so minute that it would be difficult to detect muchless base a conclusion on. This is why it is much more important what is INSIDE the box, which wasn't even mentioned. Because really, the only danger from these containers, is the off chance that they are full of insecticide or something like that. I also submit that we already have models of a much more toxic scenario, a ship or plane wreck or crash. These types of sea litter are much more toxic than shipping containers in most cases, again depending on cargo. And there is a lot of evidence to support the fact that the ocean in its vastness, dilutes any toxins and accepts the structure as a template for the formation of new life. Databyter

I copied and pasted this from MBARI website to answer the question of the contents of the container - 'In June 2004, while conducting a deep ocean survey, scientists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) discovered one of M/V Med Taipei's 40-foot long intermodal cargo containers, numbered TGHU7712262. The container (with its cargo of 1,159 steel-belted automobile tires) was resting inverted on the seafloor at a depth of 1,281 meters (4,203 feet) on Smooth Ridge, a submarine formation extending southwest from Monterey Bay, California. Fugro's drift model predicted the other 14 containers also sank within Sanctuary boundaries, yet their exact location remains unknown.'
