Ship splits in two after running aground in Japanese harbour

A Panamanian-registered ship ran aground in a northern Japanese harbour and was leaking oil, but there were no injuries among the 21 crew and the oil leak was being controlled with no signs it had reached shore, Japan's coastguard said. The 39,910-tonne vessel, the 'Crimson Polaris', was carrying wood chips.
