This is about Alaskan Cruises story. A large whale was found dead on the bow of a ship of the Princess as it sailed to Alaska. It is the second incident of its kind the company this year.
The unfortunate collision has occurred on the morning of Wednesday morning and the afternoon proceeded to the removal of the animal in front of the ship. The whale, an adult male with 13 meters in length, was found when the vessel sailed from Ketchikan to Juneau, Alaska back in full.
Biólogos are examining the carcass to determine the cause of death. An official of the Princess said the company is cooperating fully with the investigation. “We are surprised and concerned by this discovery because it did not feel anything on the ship,” he said. “We have safety rules to avoid whales when navigating these waters,” he concluded.
3 years ago the Princess paid about $ 750,000 in a court case related to a whale found dead in Glacier Bay, Alaska also. Although at the time have not taken the guilt of the death, concede, however, that the ship, Dawn Princess, not boating a safe speed around the whales.
The crew is usually aware of this problem especially in waters known to be inhabited by large animals. However, there is technology available that allows its detection.

The “REPCET” uses a satellite to track the path of whales and automatically transmits warnings to ships navigating in the vicinity.
