7° 43.9′ N · 98° 16.6′ E
The container ship SEALLOYD ARC sank south-west of Koh Kaew Noi, off south Phuket, on 7 February 2026 with 297 containers aboard. Some containers floated free and drifted around the area.
Practical
The Royal Thai Navy gives the wreck depth as 61 m at 7 43.88 N, 98 16.62 E (Noonsite, Feb 2026). Thailand's Pollution Control Department asks everyone to stay 100 m from any container at sea or ashore; photograph it and any hazard symbols, note the position and call PCD on 1196 or the Maritime Security Command Centre on 1465. Keep a lookout for semi-submerged containers on the Kata-Racha-Phi Phi routes, especially at night.
