Sickening for anybody with a car on it. I would presume there is probably some very expensive high powered rare motors on it.

When mine came in on the Hoegh Detroit it docked at southampton, went to Germany belgium then docked at Newcastle, so that doesn't mean it can't affect anyone in the UK.

Still sucks massively, theirs bound to be a few cars ruined, if not the entire shipment.

This is beached just down the road from me, I can see it at my local beach.
full of range rovers, minis and JCB's headed for Germany,
quite a sight seeing such a big vessel listed 45 degrees!

Mine came over on the Hoegh Antwerp.

I work for JLR, lucky for us, its all cars destined for abroad. No firm word on whats damaged yet. They are obviously strapped down, but doubt they planned for 50 degree plus list! They are also stored close together, which wont help. I reckon most will be ok though.
Read a JCB punctured the hull when it broke free though!

And as Rob said, the ships take a round about route. So could well be cars for places other than Germany.
