Introduction
An apparent accident at the Port of Long Beach left dozens of shipping containers in the ocean water on Tuesday, Sept. Dozens of shipping containers fall off cargo ship The Port of Long Beach in California had to suspend operations after port officials say the containers fell into Long Beach Harbor once a strap holding down the containers was released. Since this series was first issued, there have been at least sixteen further incidents of BESS failures1 around the world that have resulted in fires and damage to property, although there are no reports of significant injuries. The July 2021 Victorian Big Battery (Australia) fire involved 2 Tesla Megapacks in a 212-unit site. An investigation found that, during commissioning of the units, a leak in one unit’s liquid cooling system caused arcing between battery modules. The fire occurred when a battery storage unit caught fire, according to Terra-Gen, thetree and systems theoretic analysis.
