Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines has sprung into action to help in the aftermath of Friday’s devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The largest shipowner in Japan by fleet size has deployed a total of four ships from its MOL Ferry division to help move members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) who were assigned to rescue operations in northeast Japan. MOL reported that none of its owned vessels appeared to be damaged from the tsunami. However, the MOL-chartered C.S. Victory, was carried toward the breakwater by the tsunami and now rests on the bottom of the shallow harbour at Ishinomaki in Miyagi prefecture). All the crew members left the vessel on orders of the harbour master, and none were injured. None of the cargo or fuel oil has spilled from the vessel.
