Mitsui O.S.K. Lines recovered a vessel, the chartered bulk carrier C.S. Victory, that had been carried away by the massive tsunami that hit Japan last week, the shipping line said Thursday.
MOL was able to bring the ship back under its own power after it had been grounded in a shallow harbor at Ishinomaki in northeastern Japan. The vessel “is now safely anchored nearby.”
The ship was one of about a dozen large commercial vessels swept up in the tsunami that devastated the coastal area of Japan last week. MOL said the ship “was carried toward a breakweater.”
MOL has been providing transport through its ferry subsidiary to rescue and relief forces in the region.
