Fang Mingyuan woke up immediately and lowered his voice: "When did it happen? How much oil did the tanker carry? How much oil did it leak?"

"Just two hours ago, Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd.'s 150,000-ton oil tanker Shoumaru Seimaru ran aground outside Busan Port for unknown reasons. A total of more than 125,000 tons of crude oil was transported on board. How much oil has been leaked so far?

I don't know yet." Lin Rong said in a low voice, "The news was sent by Samsung Group. I guess the media still don't know about it yet."

Fang Mingyuan rubbed his temples to wake himself up. The news came too suddenly.

"Mingyuan, it is said that the Second Yu Xiangmaru tanker is a single-hull tanker, which was produced by Japan in the mid-1980s." Lin Rong added. Fang Mingyuan's eyes immediately dimmed. It was produced by Japan in the 1970s and 1980s.

The single-hull oil tankers used ship steel plates of poor quality. If this were the case, this environmental pollution would probably be inevitable. Although it is said that Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd.'s misfortune is probably Kuok Shipping Group's good luck!

But this kind of thing really makes people feel unhappy.

The second time I encountered the Shomaru oil tanker, it carried more than 120,000 tons of crude oil. Although it is not known whether the damage to the hull was serious or not, if a large amount of crude oil leaked out, it would definitely cause serious damage to the waters around Busan, and even cause serious damage to the sea area around Busan.

Fatal pollution. This is definitely a result that Koreans cannot tolerate. Busan is a natural port and a world-recognized Pan-Pacific logistics center. Its container freight volume has been among the top five in the world for two thousand years.

.But it is not just a natural harbor, it is also the second largest city in South Korea after the capital. More than 25% of Korean citizens live here. It also has a long coastline and beautiful beaches.

and seaside scenery, it is a well-known tourist place in South Korea.

There are more than 50 various parks and bathing beaches, including several well-known bathing beaches in Korea. Millions of domestic and foreign tourists come here every year for sightseeing and vacation. Not far from Busan, there is the famous

Jeju Island.

If a serious oil spill occurs here, it will undoubtedly have a direct and fatal impact on Busan's tourism industry. For the South Korean government, this would be as painful as cutting off flesh.

Fang Mingyuan glanced at the big screen. The first episode of "The Lord of the Rings" had come to an end. He said calmly: "You will go back to the company later to recruit the main management personnel of Guo's Shipping Group Company. I will finish the premiere after I finish my work."

I will rush over as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Lin Rong walked out quickly.

"I'm afraid the little devil is on the verge of crying this time!" Fang Bin sneered. He had also heard about the fact that Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. robbed Kuok Shipping Group's customer Tenakalin Oil Company. As for taking advantage of the situation,

Naturally, Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. feels a lot of resentment for putting passengers in danger.

"Well, Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. is in big trouble this time!" Fang Mingyuan chuckled in a low voice. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. He has also done thorough research on the information of Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. This company has been placed in the global shipping industry.

Zhongya can be regarded as a large shipping company, with a fleet of oil tankers with an ocean shipping capacity of four to five million deadweight tons. Compared with Japan's current oil tanker ocean transportation capacity, this number only accounts for one-seventh

However, it has exceeded the total shipping capacity of mainland China's shipping companies and reached four-sevenths or five-fifths of South Korea's total shipping capacity!

However, Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. has a big flaw, that is, single-hull oil tankers account for at least 80% of its fleet!

Although the United States has banned single-hull oil tankers from entering its waters since around 1990, and international conventions also require oil tanker shipping companies to eliminate those single-hull oil tankers, and have formulated a timetable for the elimination of single-hull oil tankers. Most single-hull oil tankers are required to be eliminated.

Shell tankers will be withdrawn from the transportation market before 2010. However, if the ship is less than 25 years old and has permission from the flag country, and the country of loading and departure accepts the International Maritime Organization's ship condition assessment program

, it can continue to operate until 2015. This is mainly because the cost of single-hull oil tankers is low and the operating costs have obvious advantages over double-hull oil tankers. Moreover, oil tanker shipping companies around the world have a large number of single-hull oil tankers.

It is undoubtedly very unrealistic to replace them all in a short period of time.

Moreover, in Europe and East Asia, the dangers of leakage from single-hull oil tankers are not yet obvious. Therefore, there is no extremely strict ban on the entry of single-hull oil tankers into the port. Considering that it will still be nearly fifteen years, so

Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. is not in a hurry to replace the tankers it owns. And it is not just Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd., many crude oil shipping companies in Japan are also in the same situation.

However, this time, for the second time, the Shomaru oil tanker leaked crude oil outside Busan Port in South Korea. If it is only a small scale, it is nothing, but if it cannot be controlled in time, the consequences will be extremely serious.

!Fang Mingyuan can completely imagine that if it is really a large-scale leak, the Koreans and Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. will be impatient!

The Hong Kong premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" ended successfully. When the invited guests left the premiere venue, they were naturally surrounded by reporters who had been waiting outside. Naturally, these people would not be stingy.

They praised the film, not to mention that "The Lord of the Rings" had already conquered their hearts. So for a while, it received rave reviews, and they all suggested that movie lovers should not miss this classic.

Of course, many of them also mentioned the Ice Age, the "squirrel", and the following sentence, which naturally made these media like a treasure.

At this time, in the headquarters building of Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. in Tokyo, Japan, although outsiders could not see anything, in fact, everyone who knew about this matter was in chaos.

"Baga! What a bunch of bastards!" Diamond Cruise Co., Ltd. President Ishii Mimizu said angrily, slapping the table. Being ripped out of the gentle village, it was natural that he would not feel better. What's more, today it was originally him and

It’s a good day for a well-known Japanese actress to “date”! Moreover, what I heard is such bad news!

Judging from the news he has learned so far, the crude oil leakage from the Second Yuxiang Maru oil tanker was quite serious. In just over three hours, more than ten tons of crude oil had been leaked into the sea, forming a large area of ​​pollution outside Busan Port.

It's just that it's dark now, so it's impossible to judge the area of ​​pollution and the direction of the pollution zone.

No matter which direction the pollution belt drifts, it is a tragedy for Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. To the east is Japan’s own coastline, to the west is South Korea’s second largest city Busan, to the north is the Sea of ​​Japan, and to the south is the Sea of ​​Japan.

They are the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea of ​​China.

Needless to say, the importance of the coastlines of the two countries, not to mention that Busan in South Korea is also an important tourist city with many well-known bathing beaches and beautiful sea views.

Drifting northward into the Sea of ​​Japan will undoubtedly cause irreparable damage to the ecological environment of the Sea of ​​Japan! The Sea of ​​Japan is the largest marginal sea in the Northwest Pacific. Since it is surrounded by the Asian continent and Japan, there are only a few straits connected to the Pacific Ocean. It can be said that

It is a nearly closed sea. This special hydrological characteristic results in its limited ability to treat pollutants. For this reason, the Japanese government has repeatedly warned that Korean domestic garbage enters the Sea of ​​Japan, causing serious damage to the coastal environment and aquatic ecology of the Sea of ​​Japan.

Destruction and severe protest.

And this time, if a large amount of crude oil enters the Sea of ​​Japan... Ishii can't even think about it anymore.

Because the cold current from the south and the warm current from the north meet here, the Sea of ​​Japan is rich in plankton, which makes the aquatic resources here very rich. There are more than 600 species of fish alone, including Pacific sardines, cod, and herring.

, valuable fish such as flounder have become important fishing grounds. Every year, fishermen in Japan, South Korea, and North Korea can get very generous profits from here.

In addition, various whales are found here, and crabs, kelp and other aquatic resources are produced here. It is precisely because the Sea of ​​Japan is a rich fishing ground that South Korea, North Korea and Japan have repeatedly triggered territorial disputes over fishery resources.

If a large amount of crude oil enters the Sea of ​​Japan, it will be tantamount to a disaster for the local fishery resources! Just thinking about the heavy losses is enough to make people scared. Whether it is the South Korean government, the North Korean government or the Japanese government, they will definitely

Like a tiger that has been stepped on, everyone will accuse Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd., and the huge oil pollution cleanup costs and loss compensation costs that will follow are enough to make Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. even more injured.

At this time, neither Mimizu Ishii nor anyone else at Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. had thought that the Shomaru tanker was a single-hull tanker. But even so, the huge compensation was enough to make them pay for it.

The headache is endless. I am afraid that the net profit of Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. for two to three years will not be able to satisfy the appetite of those who lost money. Such a huge loss was only because the captain and crew of the Shomaru oil tanker were drunk before entering the port.

So far!

If these losses bought them all the best wine in the world, I'm afraid it would be enough for them to swim in it.

"President Ishii, South Korea has sent more than 500 people to set up floating barriers at sea to prevent the spread of leaked fuel. my country and our company's professional maritime oil pollution prevention personnel have rushed to Busan to assist South Korea in cleaning up the pollution! "Some of my subordinates explained bravely.

"This is not enough! Contact other domestic companies immediately and ask them to second some oil pollution prevention and control personnel!" Ishii Jiansui ordered, "There are also Americans, they have more experience in dealing with sea oil pollution! Get it done immediately!" (Unfinished)
