That'll buff right out

A cargo ship ran aground and broke into two off northern Japan, the coast guard said Thursday, with the crew of the Panama-flagged vessel taken to safety. Aerial images showed the separated stern of the Crimson Polaris tipped upwards and the other part of the stricken boat listing into the sea.
A fuel leak from the ship has spread around 15 miles, a coastguard spokesman told AFP, but the extent of any environmental impact was unclear.
"Crimson Polaris ran aground in Hachinohe port in Aomori," said the spokesman, who declined to be named.
"All the 21 crew members — Chinese and Filipino — were rescued safely," he said.
The 39,910-ton vessel was carrying wood chips when it ran aground, Reuters reported.
Three patrol boats and three aircraft were dispatched after the ship ran aground on Wednesday in the port off Japan's northeastern coast.
Authorities were trying to contain the oil leak but had not yet been able to erect an oil fence around the boat, the spokesman said.
"The patrol boats will operate overnight" to avoid collisions, he said, adding that no other ship was known to be involved in the accident.

From the looks of the stern section, that's fairly new construction. Breaking cleanly in half at the bulkhead like that would indicate very poor construction and worse inspection. The insurance company is going to ask for the welding inspection records. If there is no insurance company, then we know who built it.

I always love a nice clean break on a good ship

I've never seen that. That could have been a real politician if you didn't know any better.

Built in 2008, not necessarily "NEW" construction in the maritime industry.

That's what I call a clean break up.
I'll show myself out

They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
