An AP Moller-Maersk boxship that lost 260 containers overboard is expected to dock in Japan on Thursday for repairs.

The 13,092-teu Maersk Eindhoven (built 2010) suffered engine failure in bad weather on 17 February, which also resulted in damage to 65 boxes on board.

Maersk has now said the ship is in Japanese waters, awaiting clearance for transit into the group's own APM Terminals Yokohama.
