Work to lift the sunken Kazu I resumed off the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido after the sightseeing boat fell deeper into the sea during salvage efforts earlier this week, the Japan Coast Guard announced Thursday.
A salvage operator under contract with the JCC conducted work to connect two nylon belt slings, which have been attached to the hull of the boat, to wires hanging from a work barge at sea using an unmanned underwater vehicle.
