Ugly event, any way you look at it. I would also like to know more details, but these events will certainly increase insurance costs for ocean shipping - which is already considerable;I always have more questions than answers. That's the nature of life.

Glad the boys on board got home. That is a bad weather place to abandon. Big seas and big winds!
Also a big distance from the sea to the deck where the lifeboat was."we go where power lines don't" Sierra Nevada mountain area

The Morning Midas sank Monday in international water off Alaska’s Aleutian Islands chain, the ship’s management company, London-based Zodiac Maritime, said in a statement.
“There is no visible pollution,” said Petty Officer Cameron Snell, an Alaska-based U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson. "Right now we also have vessels on scene to respond to any pollution.”
Fire damage compounded by bad weather and water seepage caused the carrier to sink in waters about 16,404 feet (5,000 meters) deep and about 415 miles (770 kilometers) from land, the statement said.
