A mega containership, the Mumbai Maersk, is aground off the coast of Germany. She’s about the same size as the Ever Given, which ran aground in the Suez Canal last year.
The ship is close to a popular tourist island destination. The accident brings into focus the difficulties of operating such large vessels.
