Britain's Department for Transport said more than 200 containers from the ship, which was listing at a 30-degree angle, had slid into the sea. Maritime and Coast Guard spokesman Paul Coley said two containers contained hazardous materials -- including battery acid and perfume products -- but they posed "minimal" risk.
