CHINA's major carrier Cosco Shipping Lines says it is not the operator of the Cosco Nagoya which lost dozens of containers overboard in the Pacific Ocean last month, reports gCaptain, Ventura, California (LA area).

The 4,500 TEU containerships is now back underway presumably after cargo ops were completed. The boxship was sailing from Busan, South Korea to Long Beach, California when the accident took place on November 24, forcing the ship to turn back to Korea.
According to marine claims consultancy WK Webster, which first reported on the accident, a total of 59 containers were impacted in the incident, including 27 collapsed containers and 32 that went overboard.
The automatic identification system (AIS) now shows the ship has departed Gwangyang and is underway to Long Beach with an arrival date of December 20.
In a statement, the shipping line said: "Cosco Shipping Lines notices recent media reports regarding the massive container collapse happening to Cosco Nagoya. The company hereby affirms that Cosco Nagayo had come off charter and has not been operated by Cosco Shipping Lines since April 2020."
The ship, which is registered in Panama, is instead believed to be operated by Singapore-based Sea-Lead.
