Wood Chip Carrier Crimson Polaris Splits in Two Off Japanese Courts Guards 

“The hull of the vessel, a dedicated wood-chip carrier operated by NYK, split in two at 4:15 am on August 12, and oil from the vessel has spilt into the ocean. The amount is currently under investigation.

“The split hull is about 4 kilometers offshore, and the on-site response is being carried out by Japan Coast Guard patrol boats, tugboats, etc."

“NYK has organized a crisis management center led by NYK president Hitoshi Nagasawa to rapidly address the situation. The company is cooperating with related parties based on advice from the Japan Coast Guard. Company personnel have been sent to the site, and necessary support will be provided to the shipowner and ship-management company. We hope the situation will be bought to a safe and timely conclusion.”

Some hours before : A Panama-flagged wood chip carrier grounded and is reportedly suffering from a cracked hull just off the coast of Hachinohe, Japan, located on the northeast coast of Honshu island.

The Japanese Coast Guard received a distress call from the captain of the Crimson Polaris around 7:50 a.m. indicating the vessel was having trouble navigating in heavy weather, according to Japanese media reports. The ship reportedly grounded outside the breakwater Hachinohe Port, was refloated on its own, and has since dropped anchor.

Reporting indicates all 21 crew members have been evacuated by helicopter from the vessel.

NYK, the ship’s operator, has now confirmed the incident in a statement (below), adding that a portion of the cargo was lost “from the damaged part of the hull.”

AIS data shows an irregular track just off the coast of Hachinohe. At this time the ship is not believed to be in danger of breaking up or sinking.

NYK confirmed the vessel was “swept away by a strong wind while anchored and resultantly ran aground.”

The Crimson Polaris was built in 2013 and has a deadweight of 49,549 tonnes.


NYK statement:

Crimson Polaris, a dedicated wood-chip carrier operated by NYK, was swept away by a strong wind while anchored and resultantly ran aground off Hachinohe in Aomori prefecture at around 7:35 am (JST) on August 11.

Afterward, a portion of the ship’s wood-chip cargo was lost from the damaged part of the hull, NYK is currently confirming the amount of cargo and the impact on the sea area at the site. Fortunately, no oil pollution has occurred. All crew members have been evacuated from the ship with the cooperation of the Japan Coast Guard, and those seafarers have been confirmed to be safe.

The vessel is owned by MI-DAS Line S.A. and managed by Misuga Kaiun Co. Ltd. NYK is currently chartering this ship from the shipowner.

NYK has organized a crisis management center lead by NYK president Hitoshi Nagasawa to rapidly address the situation. The company is cooperating with related parties based on advice from the Japan Coast Guard. Company personnel have been sent to the site, and necessary support will be provided to the shipowner and ship-management company. We hope the situation will be bought to a safe and timely conclusion.

    You can paddle board on flat water, unlike other water sports requiring waves. In addition to the ocean, people frequently cruise on rivers, lakes, bays, and mangrove forests to take in the local flora and fauna. Paddle board UK

Safety first 🗣👤🌊

 It's not the first time a seafarer or someone falls from the ship into the ocean without a safety jacket. Still, we should be where that, not all falls guarantee safe come back.  As an officer, pilot and rating. We should make it a habit to always follow safety procedures except unorthodox circumstances show up. From the picture above you can see that the seafarer recently used the gangway to come down to the ladder before exiting the ship to the other vessel whose aim was to pick him/her up no matter the reason. All safety steps taken up till that point seemed safe and professional.  As we know but refuse to admit it, "Small changes/mistakes/corrections affected big conclusive results". Still from the picture, you can see that the sea level is not the best and it will be hard to hold to one's stability; if you were to stand in a vessel with less stability than the one you were on.  Nevertheless, before his/her fall without the safety jacket. If he/she held on to th...

Connection| Potential| Ambition

Given all that was and what is to come, a common word links them all. The work connection. An ability to provide information of all shapes and kind to none common sense sigma. This ability existed long before the creation of mankind.  In the world we leave today, 3 things matter the most for a successful career. There are as follows; Connections It can be viewed in two or more ways but, I know of two only beings; YOU KNOW WHO AND WHO KNOWS. Most of us got to thank our parents, relatives or many other unknown characters that help us achieve our goals behind closes doors. Most opportunities like travelling abroad were preorganized before we even had the time to say, "Why". Knowing different people, cultures and breaking past language barriers has proven to be a source of opportunity to achieve even greater dreams over the sky . For example, a poor boy can only dream below his ceiling which is what is imaginary and real to reach but is also impossible from where they are now. Th...

Welcome Back Comrades

The reopening 🇨🇲🇬🇲🇬🇭🇱🇷🇸🇱 It is a new day, it's a new life... As of January, most marine academies around the world were given a green card of access by their respective country president which came well with a lot of rules concerning the vitality and safety of both the student and civilians involved. As for Africa as a whole, symptoms of the COVID-19 virus have been more of talk and no see. We can say the nation as a whole is doing a pretty great job. Some rumors claim that the newly installed 5G system cuz this pandemic due to the installation side effects of the radiative waves; the world as you know can't be destroyed by mere tricks but, that doesn't mean your world is. Politic is a field of pride and conning people who play a game of what-ifs. It's indeed cruel when the effects aren't in favor of the innocent; who decided that? For in a world such as this one, the strong devour the weak to gain more strength. In other words, imagine, I own a company (A...

A Moment Of Happiness

Hi ladies and Gentlemen,                                             Still in the early era of Corona virus. Covered with vast deaths and tiers from our love once. Hope for things to get better gradually failed. School of the Maritime industry are sinking monthly. Students semester fees seem to be lost money. Parent as well as individual are having a hard time managing themselves. Near to 90% of the world's population don't make money during this crisis; literally people are either living on borrowed loan, saving, charity services by other on the average wager. However, when all hope seems to be lost like a niddle in a grass field. The Maritime School seem to have found a solution to solve only their crisis for the year to come. By providing online course. Studies online secured by private channels. Although, I doubt fresh men will be given such previlage. Only students wi...
