A navigational antenna has been damaged on a cargo ship at Fairview Container Terminal, and the vessel won’t be able to leave until the equipment is fixed.

DP World confirmed the antenna and a quay crane at the terminal collided while the crane was repositioning on May 1, at 1:46 p.m. The cargo aboard Xin Shanghai had already been unloaded.
