Why the incident happened is currently unknown, the media mentioned. At the same time, it was revealed that the accident site was shallow and raining when the incident occurred. Wind gusts in the area also reached 40 kilometres each hour.
This is the second such incident in Japan in the past eight days. On 10 January, the Inazuma destroyer of Japan’s maritime self-defence force reportedly lost control by striking rocks on the seabed close to the country’s western prefecture based in Yamaguchi.
