There are 3800 tons of ultra-low sulfur fuel oil and 200 tons of diesel oil on board. Some experts pointed out that once the ship breaks in two, it only takes a few hours, and the fuel will flood the lagoon by the sea. The statement issued by the ship operator Mitsui Co., Ltd. of Japan on the same day also confirmed that the cracks inside the ship are expanding. Because the ship can't sail by itself, it can only be transferred to a tugboat to prevent the debris from drifting away after rupture.
