An AP Moller-Maersk boxship that lost 260 containers overboard is expected to dock in Japan on Thursday for repairs.
The 13,092-teu Maersk Eindhoven (built 2010) suffered engine failure in bad weather on 17 February, which also resulted in damage to 65 boxes on board.
Maersk has now said the ship is in Japanese waters, awaiting clearance for transit into the group's own APM Terminals Yokohama.
Company surveyors and salvors have boarded the vessel to review its condition.
"The ship's engine and seaworthiness are in good working order and the port call repairs will address some steel railings, inspection of hatch covers and other activities that the surveyors might find," Maersk added.
Repairs can be done in port
"At this point in time, we have ensured that all replacement materials and welding activities can be performed in port."
The vessel, owned by Minsheng Financial Leasing, suffered a loss of engine propulsion for three to four minutes while sailing 45 nautical miles (83 km) off northern Japan in heavy seas.
The loss of manoeuvrability resulted in severe rolling.
Propulsion was quickly restored and the initial analysis indicated engine oil pressure triggered a safety feature, causing the engines to shut down, Maersk added.
No malfunction or maintenance issues have been identified.
Preliminary reports had indicated slight damage to the ship, with minimal repairs required.
The Denmark-flag vessel had left Xiamen, China, for Los Angeles on Maersk's weekly TP6 service between Asia and the US west coast.
The vessel will resume normal routing once repairs are completed.
