On 1 January 2019 at least 345 containers went overboard on the North Sea [8]. About 200 containers lost north of the island Terschelling, the remaining containers north of Borkum.[9] 19 of the containers and their contents – including organic peroxides, children's toys, shoes, bags, cushions, chairs, televisions, and plastic packaging – washed ashore on the Dutch islands of Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog and German island Borkum in the Wadden Sea, a protected UNESCO biosphere reserve.[10][11][12] The Dutch Safety Board started an investigation into the case.
