U.S. Coast Guard officials estimate 67 containers toppled from the Portuguese‑flagged freighter Mississippi while it was tied up at a pier around 9 a.m. Tuesday. No injuries were reported, and a barge alongside the vessel was damaged by falling containers. Operations at the affected pier were temporarily suspended and a safety zone was established as Coast Guard, police, and fire units managed the scene. Officials say the cause has not been determined and both the investigation and cleanup are ongoing. Media and port workers reported the ship developed a list, and records indicate the 255‑meter vessel arrived from China about two weeks earlier.
