So, how does a container ship capsize at the dock?

1. Sea Eagle is not a container ship but a general cargo vessel designed to carry oversized and non-standard cargo. Plus, she is small, only 88 meters (260 ft) in length and can carry 256 TEUs...
2. She appears to be loaded with 40, if not 45 foot containers on her main deck. These containers can carry up to 30 tons. This is significant for a ship that can only carry 4k tons of cargo.

3. At the start of the video, a pierside containers handler is removing a box...
3...It appears all the containers on the stbd side have been removed along with the top boxes of the next inboard row.

4. This would shift the center of gravity to the port side (where the containers remain) & center of buoyancy to the stbd side (light side)
