A large Panamanian vessel, Lady Rosemary, collided with a breakwater in Hakata Bay on Nov. 28. The accident occurred at 11:45 p.m, shortly after the ship left for Kobe Port carrying bananas. No injuries were reported among Japanese and Filipino crew, and the Fukuoka Coast Guard Office prevented the spread of leaked oil. Source: Sankei / Asahi / NHK
