A large amount of heavy oil spilled from the freighter.
In this problem, a special sheet is sent from a Japanese company to the site.

MAGIC FIBER:
“MTEchX”, a textile manufacturer in Ota-ku, Tokyo
We have a patent for the production of special fibers that can absorb only oil.
We manufacture adsorbents and MAGIC FIBER using special fibers.
Used for oil removal:
This adsorbent was used for restoration work in an accident in which oil spilled from an iron factory/oil tank in Omachi Town, Saga Prefecture, during heavy rain in Saga in August 2019.
This time, even in the Mauritius accident, we will send it as relief supplies.
On August 19, the 2nd team of the Japan Emergency Relief Team and Expert Team will deliver it to the field.
MTEchX: MAGIC FIBER
After the accident, I was wondering if I could do anything.
I am very sorry that this accident happened in a beautiful environment.
The locals are having a hard time, and I hope that they will make use of MAGIC FIBER made in Japan.
