The 79 meter long, 2972 dwt cargo vessel Marina went aground in Tokyo Bay at Kawasaki, Japan. The Marina had been at anchor when strong winds from Typhoon Trami caused the anchor to drag. Before the 12 crew on board could start the main engine, the Marina was blown ashore onto the breakwater.
The 12 crew were able to abandon ship and safely reached the shore without injury. Reports state the Marina sustained hull damage and some oil pollution had been released.
The 465 dwt tanker Keihin Maru No. 8 collided with the 97 meter long, 5025 dwt tanker Eastern Phoenix off Kehin, Kawasaki, Japan.

The three crew on board were later rescued. No reports of injuries. The Eastern Phoenix only sustained minor damage. Reports state the Keihin Maru No.8 was in a flooded condition, but remains afloat.
