Cargo ship snaps in two off Japan coast

Hachinohe (Japan) (AFP) – A cargo ship has run aground and broken into two pieces off northern Japan, with the crew of the Panama-flagged vessel reportedly taken to safety. Aerial images show the separated stern of the Crimson Polaris tipped upwards and the other part of the stricken boat floating into the sea. A fuel leak from the ship has spread around 24 kilometres (15 miles) according to a coastguard spokesman and the extent of any environmental impact remains unclear.
