Shoku Maru

Date: May 29, 2014 The chemical tanker, Shoko Maru, has foundered in Japanese waters, following a massive explosion and a subsequent fire leaving one person missing. The Japanese flagged 2,242 dwt tanker exploded approximately 3 miles off the western Japanese port of Himeji on May 29 at around 0920 local time. Of the 8 crew members on board, 7 were rescued ? 4 of whom needed hospital treatment. The ship?s Master, 64 year old Captain Masaichi Ando, has yet to be found. Fortunately the ship had unloaded her cargo of crude oil and was ?virtually empty? when the incident occurred, otherwise the resulting damage would have been far worse. Four hours after the initial blast, the vessel started listing heavily due a rather large hole in her hull, smoke billowing forth as Japanese Coast Guard firefighting vessels hosed her down until she eventually started sinking, bow first, before reportedly being fully submerged at around 1900 local time. The explosion would appear to have occurred below deck hence the limited casualties as all the crew saved were working on the open deck when the accident occurred.
