Hazardous waste-carrying ship heading for Tokyo

TOKYO, Japan - The photo, taken by a Kyodo News helicopter at a point about 120 kilometers south-southwest of Omaezaki, Shizuoka Prefecture, shows the MV Pulsar, a Panamanian-registered containership, heading for Tokyo port on Jan. 9. The vessel is sailing at a speed of about 4 knots per hour, carrying 122 containers of hazardous garbage shipped from Manila. The hospital and household waste had been illegally exported to the Philippines in July and is being shipped back to Japan. The containers are to be unloaded at Tokyo port on Jan. 11.
