Nearly 1,400 new Mazdas scheduled to arrive at the Port of Tacoma this weekend might end up at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean instead.
The transport carrying them began to take on water over the weekend and the Coast Guard urged its crew members to abandon ship Monday.
The Cougar Ace was carrying a total of about 4,800 cars from Japan to Canada when it began to list Sunday night in the stormy waters off the western Aleutian Islands.
Its sitting on its side, basically, Petty Officer Stephen Harrison said.
Some of the Mazdas were due in Tacoma this Sunday, said Mike Wasem, spokesman for the Port of Tacoma. The port, which expects to import as many as 160,000 vehicles this year, expected to receive 1,376 vehicles from the ship, he said.
Its just an unfortunate thing, Wasem said. Youve just got to hope all the crew is safe and sound.
Most of the vehicles imported by the port are shipped by train to parts of the Upper Midwest and the East Coast, he said. In addition to Mazda, the port imports vehicles from Isuzu, Kia, Mitsubishi and Suzuki.
Of the 1,400 Mazdas on board approx 350 were CX-7's(shocked)
