Nippon Salvage has been given an emergency response contract to rescue the burning car carrier Sincerity Ace (built 2009), which is drifting dangerously off the Pacific Island of Oahu.
It is understood the Nippon Salvage tug Koyo Maru is heading out to the ship under instruction to tow it back to Japan. The vessel is expected to arrive back in Japan on 25 January.
