Container Causes Mystery in Puerto Madryn

A container floating in the city of Puerto Madryn caused mystery among neighbors and authorities due to the magnitude of the unit, which became stranded in front of the Atlántico Sud Nautical Club, forcing the Argentine Naval Prefecture to work on the operation. The unusual discovery occurred this Monday when the Puerto Madryn Port Authority alerted the Naval Prefecture about the fall of a large container at the Admiral Storni pier due to strong winds in the area. In the alert, it was highlighted that the unit fell and began to be dragged by the current until it became stranded in front of the facilities of the Atlántico Sud Nautical Club. Videos and images, accessed by the Argentine News Agency, went viral on social networks due to the surprise and mystery. From the local portal Madryn Ahora, it was explained that it was a 20-foot reefer container that was empty at the time of the incident because it was going to be loaded with frozen fish. For now, the unit remains stranded at these facilities under the care of the relevant authorities, and it is expected that the company in charge will remove it today.
