‘A large fleet named “Mol Comfort” carrying Arms for FSA from the U.S. has crashed in the Indian Ocean as it made its way from Singapore to Jeddah, on board were 4,500 containers loaded with arms for the Syrian rebels’

‘MOL Comfort sank due to yet unclear reasons, sailing from Singapore to Jeddah and after that to North Europe, leaving behind hundreds of drifting containers and a huge aftershock hitting liner sector and all of the maritime industry.

Even the scale of the consequences is hard, impossible, to estimate, not to mention consequences themselves. This is the 1st case in liner sector, when modern ocean-going liner container vessel (built in Japan!) sank in the ocean after breaking in 2 parts, like a poorly built and managed bulk carrier or over aged coaster. Nothing like this ever occurred, and no one believed it was possible, even theoretically. It just could not happen, but still, here it is.’

Container Ship Carrying Weapons for Syrian Rebels Splits in Half/Sinks | Alternative

(i have not received any proper source yet...but its sure the ship has been sunk just have to confirm weather it was really carrying weapons to FSA)

False alarm.

Mol comfort was running between Europe-Asia route. Going from Singapore to SA.


MOL Comfort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 17 June 2013, while underway from Singapore to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with a cargo of 4,382 containers equivalent to 7,041 TEU, the vessel suffered a crack amidships in bad weather about 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) off the coast of Yemen and eventually broke into two. The crew of 26—11 Russians, one Ukrainian and 14 Filipinos—abandoned the ship and was rescued from two life rafts and a lifeboat by the German-flagged container ship Yantian Express, one of three vessels diverted to the site of incident by ICG Mumbai

Yes! they do if load is not properly distributed a ship can snap like a straw due to thousands of tons of weight and ever shifting stress point due to sea waves.

Well , certainly ships can break in two in case of baf weather and poor cargo distribution , but doesn't modern ships had sensors to warn about the situation ?

And by the way from the picture I can't made anu comment about the actual weight distribution but it seems that containers themselves distributed equally
 
.
The ship was carrying 10,000 Qatari special force troops together with 380 old Israeli jeeps to help the Syrian rebels. Fortunately it was spotted by Iranian space monkey Pishgam-1. Then Qaher-313 stealth fighters were sent and sinked it.

Well , if you guys get your act together and be friendlier to your neighbour then you could use a more direct route to ship your inhumanitarian aid to poor foreign cannibals army .

I am not aware of any such sensors to measure the weight distribution, and I must admit my knowledge is not up to date on this subject.

Even if the containers look evenly distributed, there is no way of knowing how much weight each container has, and number two even if that was right, Cargo ships have huge ballast tanks, where they fill sea water to balance the weight of the ship, may be the ballast tanks were not filled properly, or maybe some ballast tank leaked, God only knows the reason.
