As a result of a diver confirming the ship that sank on the seabed in the accident where a tourist ship sank off the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido, there was no major damage, so the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism said that the hull was near the sea surface as early as 22nd. We have decided to lift it up to the next day and lift it up on the work boat on the 23rd.
A tourist boat "KAZU 1" sank off the coast of the Shiretoko Peninsula, killing 14 people and missing 12 people. We are searching and investigating the inside of a ship that has sunk on the seabed.
According to the people concerned, no major damage was found on the hull in the investigation so far, and it was confirmed that it was strong enough to move, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism decided that it was possible to withdraw and started work from the 21st. It means that we have decided on a policy to start.
Specifically, on the 21st, we will mainly work to close the opening of the hull so that equipment etc. will not flow out from the ship, and on the 22nd at the earliest, we will lift it to a depth of 10 meters with a wire tied to the ship. ..
The policy is to move the tourist boat underwater as it is, sail to the sea area where the work boat can drop the anchor, and then withdraw the boat onto the work boat as early as 23rd of this month.
However, it is assumed that the work will not proceed as planned due to the fast tide in the sea area at the site, so the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has decided to proceed with the work carefully.
