Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. has been gathering data concerning MOL-operated vessels that could be affected by the devastating earthquake in Tohoku district - off the Pacific Ocean region, the company's press release said. MOL says neither the quake nor the tsunami caused any significant maritime accidents involving MOL-operated vessels.
However, the MOL-chartered Panama-flagged C.S. Victory was carried toward the breakwater by the tsunami and now rests on the bottom of the shallow harbor at Ishinomaki (Miyagi prefecture). All the crew members left the vessel on orders of the harbormaster, and none were injured. None of the cargo (kaolin) or fuel oil has spilled from the vessel, the company said.
