The British police arrested a man suspected of killing the answers on why a cargo ship hit a tanker who carried a jet fuel for the US army outside Eastern England, setting both vessels. One sailor is assumed to be dead.
Humberside police said the 59-year-old was detained “on suspicion of rough negligence murder regarding the collision.” The man, whom the police did not appoint, was not charged.
The United Kingdom officials observed bird damage and marine life after a nozzle fuel from the cracked tank poured into the North Sea, when the container ship registered by Portugal Solong was burned on Monday with a US mark. The collision encouraged the explosions and fires that burned more than 24 hours.
The footage shot from a helicopter on Tuesday morning showed that the fire is mostly on a tanker, which had a large mold on its port side.
The Coast Guard Agency in the UK announced on Tuesday that “Solong was still lit and that the fire on the Stenic Immaculate ship had significantly diminished.” The freight ship was removed to the south, far from the tanker, and around both ships an area of exclusion of one kilometer was installed. The government said the cause of the collision was being explored, but there was no indication of the ball game.
A cargo ship that is expected to sink
“At that time, no sign of pollution from the vessel is noticed,” said the Minister of Transport Mike Kane to the legislators in the House of Municipality. But he warned that this was a quickly changing situation and said that the cargo ship would probably sink.
The government said that air quality readings are normal and the risk of public health on land “very low”.
The collision has launched a major operation of saving boats, coastal guard aircraft and commercial vessels in the foggy northern sea.
A video with the social media received by the AFP News partner shows that the smoke has been cracked after a tanker oil and a cargo ship collided in the North Sea.
All except one of the 37 crew members from two vessels brought safely to the coast in the port of Grimsby, about 240 kilometers north of London, without major injuries. One crew member disappeared, and the coastal guards refused the search on Monday.
“Our work assumption is that, very unfortunately, the sailor passed away.” Said Kane.
A branch of the UK investigation into the UK has begun to collect evidence of what Solong, related to Grangemouth, Scotland, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, hit a stationary tanker, anchored about 16 kilometers from the English coast.
The investigation will be conducted by the US and Portugal, the countries where the vessels are marked.
Fuel for the US army
The 183-meter Stenac Immaculate operated as part of the US Government Tanker Program, a group of commercial vessels that can be contracted to carry fuel for the military when needed. His operator, the US Crowley Management Maritime Company, said he wore 220,000 JET1-A1 fuel barrels in 16 tanks, at least one of which was cracked.
The company said it was not clear how much the fuel had leaked to the sea.
The owner of Solong, the Ernst Russ shipping company, said that contrary to earlier reports, the vessel did not bore containers of sodium cyanide, which can produce harmful gas in combination with water. It said four empty containers had previously contained chemical.
“Our team is actively engaged with all local authorities, and we will work with cleaning teams to ensure that any effort alleviates further impact on the Navy environment,” the company states.
Greenpeace UK said it was too early to evaluate the extent of any environmental damage from the collision, which occurred near the traffic fishing terrain and the main colonies of the seafood.
Ecologists have said that oil and chemicals are the risk of marine life, including whales and dolphins and birds, including foxes, gannets and Guillemote living on coastal cliffs.
Tom Webb, Senior Lecturer of Sea Ecology and Preservation at the University of Sheffield, said that wild animals were “from enormous biological, cultural and economic significance”.
“Apart from the richness of marine life, which is present throughout the year, this is the time of the year crucial for many migration species,” he said.
Alex Luyayanov, who moderates oil pouring at Reading University, said the environmental impact will depend on multiple factors, including “the size of the spill, weather conditions, sea currents, water waves, wind samples and oil types”.
“This concrete incident is worried because it seems to include persistently oil, which is slowly divorcing in the water,” he said. “The toll environment could be strong.”
