A diver searched the inside of the ship for 20 days due to the sinking accident of a sightseeing boat off the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido, but no clue was found that could lead to the discovery of the missing person.
In the future, work for the withdrawal of the ship is expected to begin in earnest.
On the 23rd of last month, 14 passengers died in the accident where the tourist ship "KAZU 1" (19 tons) carrying 26 passengers and crew sank off the coast of the Shiretoko Peninsula, and the whereabouts of 12 people are still unknown. ..
A private salvage company will continue on the 19th and continue on the 20th in a way that can cope with deep sea pressure, called saturated diving, to see if anyone is left behind on a tourist boat that sank to the bottom of the sea at a depth of about 120 meters. I sneaked a diver and hit the search.
According to the 1st Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, the search by saturated diving was carried out for about 4 hours until around noon, but no clue was found that could lead to the discovery of the missing person.
It is under consideration whether to continue the search on the ship after the 21st, so it is expected that the work for the withdrawal of the ship will begin in earnest in the future.
Meanwhile, the Japan Coast Guard revealed that the Russian side had contacted the Japanese Consulate General in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on the 19th, saying that one body was found on the west coast of Kunashir Island in the northern territories.
I don't know the gender or age, but I'm telling the passengers' families about this information.
There is information that a woman's body was found on the coast on the 6th of this month on Kunashir Island, and the Maritime Security Headquarters will contact the Russian side through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to confirm whether it is related to the sinking accident. ..
