Juneau, - Un-Ryou Shipbuilding Maru from Japan, which became "ghost
ship" after the tsunami hit March 11, 2011, and drifted down to the waters
of Alaska, USA, finally sunk by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Thursday (5 / 4/2012)
local time.
The 50-meter vessel that sank after being subjected to firing cannons cutter USCG vessel in the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The ship began to burn and the tip after being bombarded by artillery fire, and four hours later sank in deep waters over 300 meters at a point which is about 240 kilometers from the nearest coastline.
Decision was taken after the ship sank U.S. officials assess safer sinking ship, rather than pulling it ashore. The ship was drifting with the rate of one mile per hour, without any means of illumination in dense shipping lanes that traverse the ships the goods. At night, the risk of collision can be very large.
Ryou-Un Maru ship was in port of Hokkaido, ready to dibesituakan, on March 11, 2011, when an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale shook northeastern Japan, and triggered a giant tsunami waves. The ship, along with about five million tons of other debris, drifting into the open sea and drifted up into U.S. waters.
Atmospheric and Oceanic Agency Person U.S. National (NOAA) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had examined the ship, and decided to sink the ship safer.
When about to be shot, a Canadian fishing vessel, Bernice C., had tried to pull the ship to be used as scrap metal, but failed. Once Bernice C-Un left the scene Ryou Maru, the ship began firing cannon USCG.
