NHK: Japanese cruise ship that sank in April sinks again


A cruise ship. File photoTOKYO, May 24.The cruise ship KAZU 1, which sank in northern Japan at the end of April and whose recovery was started the day before, again fell to the bottom, NHK reports. Nippon Salvage began lifting the excursion ship the day before. First, it was raised from a depth of 120 meters to 100 meters, and then began to be towed into shallow water to be moved to a cargo platform. However, on Tuesday morning, the company reported that the ship's hull had again sunk to the bottom. According to the latest data, the vessel is now at a depth of 180 meters. The excursion vessel KAZU 1 (displacement of 19 tons) issued a distress signal on April 23, and then stopped communicating off the west coast of the northern island of Hokkaido. There were 26 people on the ship, including two children. A day later, 15 kilometers northeast of the place where the ship gave a distress signal, 10 dead were found, and a day later a dead girl was found — one of the two children on board. She was carried another 14 kilometers to the east. Later, a message was received about the discovery of 3 more people. Then, two bodies were found off the coast of Kunashir. Near one of them was a driver's license in the name of Akira Soyama — that was the name of the sailor from the sunken ship. A few days after the accident, the ship was found at a depth of 120 meters in the area from which the distress signal was received. Presumably, adverse weather conditions could have been the cause of the accident, the height of the waves at the time of the accident reached 3 meters. It is known that the company violated the basics of navigation by sending the vessel to sea with an unfavorable weather forecast. The ship went to sea with a broken radio and a faulty satellite connection. Most of the way KAZU 1 used cellular communication, which is unstable in sea conditions. As a result, judging by the first results of the investigation, the news that the ship was in distress was made from the passengers' cell phones. vessel with 124 passengers on board, media reported
