On Monday 24th July, 2006, Mazda was advised that the Mitsui OSK Lines'
Cougar Ace had run into trouble off the Alaskan coast. Although it is
reportedly still afloat, the vessel is on its side.
What caused this
incident or the extent of the damage to the vehicles is currently unknown. Just
over 4,700 Canadian and U.S bound Mazdas were on board. Approximately 60
percent of the cars are Mazda 3s and close to 30 percent are Mazda CX-7s. The
vehicles were headed to the ports of Vancouver (Canada), Tacoma and Hueneme in
the USA.
A plan for salvaging the vessel is being developed and will be
executed by Mitsui OSK Lines as soon as possible.
