Authorities were scouring the ocean off South Africa's east coast Wednesday for 44 containers missing after breaking loose from a French-owned ship in heavy seas last week, the maritime body said. The ultra-large container ship heading to Le Havre from Asia encountered bad weather in the Indian Ocean near the city of Durban on July 9, the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) said.
