LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- More than 60 shipping containers fell from a cargo ship, many of them into the ocean, on Tuesday morning in the Port of Long Beach.

According to a statement from the port, dozens of 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.

The concern is that many more containers currently tilted on the ship could also topple overboa
