Mazda: Difference between revisions

* A [[Singapore]]-based ocean freighter named the [[Cougar Ace]], carrying nearly 5,000 Mazda's to be sold in [[Canada]], listed onto its side on July 23, 2006 due to an error made by the crew during adjustment to the ships [[ballast tank]]s. When the incident occurred the vessel was well south of [[Alaska]]'s [[Aleutian Islands]]. Initially adrift, the Cougar Ace crew was rescued by the [[United States Coast Guard]] and the ship was later towed to [[Unalaska Island]] where it was righted. On August 25, 2006 it was put under tow to [[Portland, Oregon]] for inspection and repair. Amazingly, officials reported little to no damage to the vehicles onboard despite the ship listing nearly 90 degrees for over a month. <ref>[[http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/8123260p-8015575c.html Anchorage Daily News - Finally Upright, Cougar Ace will be Portland Bound]]</ref>
