the 2007 Zs and GTRs have foam filled body panels that keep them afloat in case of such incidents. there's a TSB on that. its been known that Zs are heavy, and if you have a boatload full of them, the ship would easily be topheavy.

hmmm.....well...lessee....those cars may have been incoming for the US too...since many Japanese automakers do ship the cars thru the port in Canada to get final installation and rail them down to the US....
now, think of it this way...if all of those 4800+ cars were Z's, then that'll just make the value and COST of the Z's to go up due to insufficient supply....hmmm...supply and demand = price gouging...gotta love America...

GM bought a submarine and has resorted to torpedo attacks on Japanese car carriers to help their bottom line.
This is fitting, Mazdas make good anchors, they are always dragging behind Zs.
