日本东海汽船公司一艘载有121人的客船在千叶县房总半岛附近海域航行时出现漏油情况,导致船舵失灵,无法自主航行。据中新社东京7月24日电,事故发生于24日上午,该船从东京竹芝码头出发,原计划前往伊豆群岛。海上保安厅透露,客船在24日10时左右因漏油导致船舵失灵。船上共有116名乘客和5名船员。
事故发生后,日本海上保安厅迅速派遣救援船只前往现场,使用绳索将客船拖向伊豆大岛的冈田港。然而,由于海上风浪较大,拖行过程困难重重,甚至一度导致绳索断裂,救援团队不得不更换拖船继续进行救援行动。
据报道,船上共有3名乘客出现身体不适,海上保安厅正全力确保乘客的安全。鉴于当前的天气条件,预计客船抵达冈田港的时间将大幅延迟。东海汽船公司表示,在客船出港前进行了例行检查,但并未发现任何异常情况。
此次事件凸显了海上安全的重要性,提醒相关部门和船运公司加强设备维护和人员培训,以应对潜在的海上风险。海上保安厅将继续监控事态发展,确保乘客的安全,并与东海汽船公司紧密合作,调查事故原因,防止类似事件的再次发生。

News Title: “Japanese Ferry Spills Oil, 121 Passengers Drift at Sea”
Keywords: Japanese Ferry Oil Spill, Sea Rescue, Navigation Challenges
News Content: A ferry carrying 121 passengers, operated by the Japan Oceanic Shipping Company, encountered an oil spill off the coast of the Minami-Izu Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, leading to the loss of steering control and the inability to navigate autonomously. According to the Xinhua News Agency in Tokyo on July 24, the incident occurred around 10 a.m. on July 24, when the ferry departed from the Tsukishima dock in Tokyo, with plans to travel to the Izu Islands. The Japan Coast Guard revealed that the ferry lost steering control due to the oil spill around 10 a.m. on July 24.
Onboard, there were 116 passengers and 5 crew members. Following the incident, the Japan Coast Guard swiftly dispatched rescue ships to the scene, using ropes to tow the ferry towards the port of Kanda on Izu Oshima Island. However, due to the large waves and rough sea conditions, the towing process was fraught with difficulties, leading to the rope breaking at one point. The rescue team was forced to switch to a larger tug to continue the rescue operation.
Reports indicate that three passengers were experiencing health issues, with the Japan Coast Guard making every effort to ensure the safety of the passengers. Given the current weather conditions, the expected arrival time of the ferry at Kanda port is significantly delayed. The Japan Oceanic Shipping Company stated that a routine inspection was conducted before the ferry’s departure, but no abnormalities were found.
This incident underscores the importance of maritime safety, prompting calls for increased maintenance of equipment and staff training for relevant departments and shipping companies to address potential maritime risks. The Japan Coast Guard will continue to monitor the situation, ensure the safety of the passengers, and work closely with the Japan Oceanic Shipping Company to investigate the cause of the incident and prevent future occurrences.
