LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- More than 50 shipping containers fell from a cargo ship and into the ocean on Tuesday morning in the Port of Long Beach.

According to a statement from the port, more than 50 containers fell from the vessel Mississippi just before 9 a.m. while it was berthed at the Pier G container terminal.

No injuries were reported, but the mishap forced the temporary suspension of cargo operations at Pier G.

AIR7 flew over the port on Tuesday afternoon, where crews were working to remove the dozens of containers from the water. Crews were also working to stabilize the ship. Hours after the initial shipping containers fell, even more containers toppled on the port side.
