for some odd reason, someone pulled up a shipping container with a Chevy Silverado, that has been sunk in the Pacific for a couple years near Newcastle Australia.

At the current Australian exchange rate, plus the hefty price of shipping, each 2018 model Chevy was worth approximately $150,000 AUD.

The YM Efficiency lost 81 containers overboard last June near Newcastle, causing a wave of debris to wash up on beaches throughout the region.

The Australian Maritime and Safety Authority (AMSA) said while the shipping company Yang Ming had been quick to clean up what washed ashore, it did not seem concerned by containers and debris below the surface.

ang Ming engaged contractors to search for the missing containers within three weeks of the incident, but AMSA said it was forced to take over control of the operation due to the slow progress.

It said 64 shipping containers had been identified using a combination of sonar and remote underwater controlled devices.

Most are lying at a depth of more than 100 metres.

ASMA expects to confirm the locations of the remaining 17 containers within coming months.

The authority is also engaging international salvage experts to assess which containers can safely be removed, and is taking responsibility for the costly clean up.

"It could be anywhere up to $50 million and there are challenges in doing that because they've left it so long that the containers are starting to break down and could disintegrate if we lift them, so we could cause more pollution in the ocean," he said.
