Japan ships halt radio, fear seizure amid Pacific tensions
In San Francisco on July 25 Japan imposed strict radio silence on its merchant fleet to avoid U S seizure of ships and cargo. Forty two vessels waited at sea or turned back, while loading surged in Pacific coast ports. The Tatuta Maru vanished after being sighted off shore with 5588 bales of silk worth 2.5 million dollars. The Daini Ogura Maru sailed with 4.5 million gallons of California crude oil, its permit later revoked then restored. The fate of the liner and potential impoundment of cargo dominated shipping news as authorities weigh risks of frozen credits.
