AP Moller-Maersk is preparing to conduct a damage assessment of one of its boxships after arriving at a port of refuge following the loss of around 750 containers in a Pacific storm.

The 13,092-teu Maersk Essen (built 2010) finally arrived at Lazaro Cardenas, in Mexico, nine days after it hit the storm on 16 January.

The vessel is currently at anchorage, but Maersk said it will conduct a damage assessment of the vessel and cargo to determine exactly how many containers were lost or damaged.
