Coastal 'Carnage' From Solent Banana Container Debris

Sixteen containers from cargo ship BALTIC KLIPPER washed ashore, spilling bananas and debris; 11 found so far with a multi-agency clean-up ongoing to prevent environmental harm.

  • On Saturday evening , eleven of the 16 containers washed ashore along the West Sussex coast between Selsey and Bognor Regis, prompting a multi-agency beach clean-up.
  • The cargo ship BALTIC KLIPPER lost 16 containers in the Solent, and tidal indications showed they were likely to come ashore along the West Sussex coast.
  • Volunteers on Tuesday morning were removing fruit packaging with about 100 volunteers helping as thousands of bananas packaged for Tesco and Asda continued washing ashore.
  • Officials urged residents to discard any taken fruit and to steer clear of affected areas while Ambi Par places skips in Bognor Regis, Pagham and Selsey for the clean-up.
  • As the operation continues, agencies say there is no confirmed end date, the Environment Agency monitors wildlife and water impact, and officials urge reporting wreck material to the Receiver of Wreck.
