A second AP Moller-Maersk boxship has lost containers overboard in less than a month.

The shipowner advised clients that the 13,092-teu Maersk Eindhoven (built 2010) experienced an "engine stop" in harsh weather off Japan on Wednesday while en route from Xiamen, southern China, to Los Angeles.

The vessel was running on the TP6 Asia/US West Coast-service.
