The agency said it was working with its US counterpart to track 40 containers that fell into the sea, saying they posed a significant risk to boat passengers.

A video obtained by Reuters showed a fire rising from the ship’s deck into the water. The Zim Kingston newspaper reported Friday that it experienced bad weather west of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
