Japanese Ship Freed From Narrow Panama Canal Gaillard Cut
A 746 foot Japanese ore carrier Shozan Maru laden with 51 806 tons was moved from the Gaillard Cut in Panama Canal clearing the 50 mile waterway for traffic. Divers found no cargo hold damage though a six foot gash lay 10 feet above the keel. The ship grounded after scraping a channel bank, blocking the canal and delaying more than 60 ships. Salvage crews pumped air into forward ballast tanks and tugs guided the vessel to a wider section as one lock lane remains under overhaul and traffic remains slow.
