Did Wet Cargo Sink This Ship?
Heavy weather and normal hull vibration may have pushed moisture upward through Bulk Jupiter’s holds, allowing the bauxite to liquefy or form a shifting slurry. As the vessel rolled, the unstable cargo could have increased her list until she capsized.
Because the wreck was never recovered, this cannot be proven. But the case remains a powerful reminder: moisture inside a bulk cargo can become a stability emergency.
