Japan's biggest oil-spill recovery vessel debuts

TOKYO, Japan - The 4,663-ton Kaisho Maru, Japan's biggest-ever oil-recovery vessel, ordered by the Transport Ministry in the wake of a huge oil spill on the Sea of Japan coast three years ago, is berthed at Tokyo Harbor on Aug. 28. It is part of a planned three-vessel oil-spill control task force that the ministry hopes would provide a speedy response in the event of an oil spill in Japanese coastal waters.
