A general cargoship has spilled 18 containers from its deck after a partial capsize in Vietnam.

The 2,500-dwt Alica (built 1987) tilted severely to its port side at Hiep Phuoc on 27 April.

Video footage shows most of the boxes on deck crashing into the water before the ship righted itself a little.

The Tin Tuc daily newspaper reported that the Ho Chi Minh City department of transport restricted traffic on the Doi canal and Kinh river in Nha Be district as a result.
