Japan ports may not be operational for years: report

摘要

Singapore-Japanese ports in the country's tsunami and earthquake-hit northeast are still in a state of disarray with the communication systems down and infrastructure in tatters and may not be operational for months or even years, according to a shipping agency report. "The entire damaged area, the northeast Japanese coast is in a state of chaos. Earth- quakes are still repeatedly shaking the area," Inchcape Shipping Services said.
