Nippon Salvage has been awarded a wreck removal contract to remove the stranded stern section of a Doun Kisen-owned bulk carrier off the north-east coast of Japan.
The fully laden 49,549-dwt Crimson Polaris (built 2006), operated by NYK Line, grounded outside the port of Hachinohe in August before breaking in two.
The forward section floated free and has now been secured at the port of Hachinohe.
