A grave incident unfolded on January 30, 2017, when a work boat assisting with the mooring of the bulk carrier 'Swiftnes' at Tomakomai Port, located in Hokkaido, met with disaster. The vessel capsized and subsequently sank after a mooring rope became entangled in the propeller of the 'Swiftnes', leading to a tragic outcome. Of the two crew members aboard, one lost their life while the other was successfully rescued from the water. Following the docking of the 'Swiftnes' at Tomakomai, authorities have initiated a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate event.
