About this page

This page outlines the mandatory reporting requirements for containers lost overboard during transport, effective January 1, 2026, following amendments to the SOLAS Convention. Ships equipped with radio facilities must report container losses to nearby vessels and maritime authorities via safety communication, and to Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism via email and phone. Required information includes general details, location data, container quantity, type, specifications, and sea conditions. Information difficult to obtain immediately may be reported later, with a final confirmed count required.
