Japans spookschip in Canada

Afbeelding
Meer na een jaar na de verwoestende aardbeving en tsunami in Japan is een toen vermist geraakte vissersboot opgedoken voor de kust van de Canadese provincie British Columbia. Ondanks een tocht van bijna 8000 kilometer over de Stille Oceaan is de sloep nog voldoende intact om te blijven ronddobberen. Dit werd bericht door de Vancouver Sun en CNN. Het schip werd ontdekt door verkenningsvliegtuigen van de Canadese luchtmacht, op iets meer dan 200 km voor de kust.  Vraag is nu of het spookschip geborgen zal worden. De 45 meter lange boot heeft veel schade opgelopen en niemand wil volgens de reddingsdiensten nog iets te maken hebben met het schip omdat de sleepkosten veel te hoog zijn. Toch kan de boot nog een gevaar betekenen voor de scheepvaart en het milieu. Voor de westkust van de Verenigde Staten drijft sinds enkele weken ook al een reusachtig tapijt van brokstukken, afkomstig van de tsunami in Japan op 11  maart 2011. Bron: Metro
