I'm reminded of the last days of the US in S. Vietnam, when sailors were pushing perfectly good Hueys over the side, into the water to make room for more refugees. Start pushing containers off into the water. They'll float long enough to either beach on the sides of the canal, or to be retrieved. So what if the cargo is ruined? Look at the big picture.

You obviously don’t know ship logistics. Especially with the majority of weight moveable objects in the cargo holds.
