The MV Byakko sank at about 2:40 a.m. local time after colliding with the chemical tanker Ulsan Pioneer just before midnight in the Seto Inland Sea.

There was no word on what types of auto parts the Byakko was carrying.

Cargo was worth 42 million if destined to RockAuto; 420 million if they were going to a Toyota dealer..... j/k

Experts say the cause of the sinking was leaking gaskets.

A snake oil slick could be seen for miles.

"...no word on what types of auto parts the Byakko was carrying". For the next 2 years we should rinse any electric part with fresh water.

My BIL was the among the very first people to order a Volvo XC-90.
The first shipload of XC-90s sank.
He had to wait.

Some speculation has indicated it could be DENSO parts. If so, the chip shortage just got wratcheted up another notch.

The journalist who wrote the article probably doesn't know the difference between an axle and an ECM.

Where is the “Seto Inland Sea”?

 

[slacktide_bitog]

The ship was too heavy and dense, oh!

Where is the “Seto Inland Sea”?

The Seto Inland Sea, sometimes shortened to the Inland Sea, is the body of water separating Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū, three of the four main islands of Japan. It serves as a waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Japan. Wikipedia
