Cruise ship departure delayed by a day after bananas fall overboard
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Sixteen containers fell from a cargo ship near the Nab tower lighthouse off Bembridge, Isle of Wight, at around 6pm on Saturday. Eight of them were carrying bananas, two held plantain and one contained avocados. It meant that P&O Cruises ship Iona, which has a capacity of 5,200 passengers, was stuck in port at Southampton and had to delay its departure until Sunday afternoon."
Donations enable reporters to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigate Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC, and produce documentaries like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent is trusted across the political spectrum and chooses not to use paywalls, keeping journalism available to all and funded by those who can afford it. Sixteen containers fell from the cargo ship Baltic Kipper near Nab Tower off Bembridge, Isle of Wight at about 6pm on Saturday. Eight containers carried bananas, two plantain, one avocados, and five were empty. P&O Cruises ship Iona was delayed in Southampton until the following afternoon while HM Coastguard coordinates recovery; two containers came ashore at Selsey and a cordon was established.
