Captain of a cargo ship arrested on suspicion of murder over a collision with a tanker called USA

British police on Tuesday arrested Captain of a Lawing Ship on suspicion of murder while asking for answers on why hit a tanker that transports jet fuel for the US military The day before, outside Eastern England, setting both vessels. One sailor assumed he was dead in a collision.

Humberside police said the 59-year-old was detained “on suspicion of rough negligence murder regarding the collision.” Police did not appoint him and was not charged.

The ship company Ernst Russ, the owner of the Portuguese coated carrier of the container The Solong, said the arrested man was the head of the ship. It is said that “our whole team actively helps with investigations.”

A member of American crew of US Steni Imgressive tanker who spoke anonymously with CBS News News because he was not allowed to talk to the media about the collision, he said that the vessel was anchored at the place where he collided. The tanker conveyed his coordinates, the man said, which means that all other vessels in the area should have known their position.

The crew member said Solong “Got out of a clear” And hit the stench.

He said that he was near the part of Stena where Solong had influenced and had only a few seconds to react when he heard the shout to collapse before the hit.

The government announced that the cause of the collision was being investigated. There was no indication of the ball game, but it caused the fear of significant environmental damage.

The United Kingdom officials observed the damage to birds and marine life after the jet fuel was poured into the North Sea when Solong was Monday on Monday. The collision encouraged the explosions and fires that burned more than 24 hours.

The US official told CBS News on Monday that Stena had carried a burden to the Ministry of Defense. The collision did not affect surgery or fight against willingness, the official said.

The footage shot from a helicopter on Tuesday morning showed that the fire appeared to a large extent on a stench, which had a large mold on its port side.

The Coast Guard Agency in the UK announced on Tuesday that Solong was still on fire. The freight ship, whose front end, was demolished and tinted, hovering towards the south, away from the tanker, and around both ships were set up about half a mile, an exclusion zone.

“At that time, there is no notice of a sign of pollution from the vessel,” said British Transport Minister Mike Kane to the legislators in the municipality’s home.

The government said that air quality readings are normal and the risk of public health on land “very low”.

Kane said at first that Solong was expected to sink, but that the Government later said that both vessels would probably stay on the move.

The collision has launched a major operation of saving boats, coastal guard aircraft and commercial vessels in the foggy northern sea.

All except one of the 37 crew members from two vessels brought safely ashore at the Grimsby port, about 150 miles (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,” Kane said.

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 ten miles from the English coast.

The investigation will be conducted by the US and Portugal, the countries where the vessels are marked.

The 596 -rate Stena Impaculen 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 necessary. 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.

North Sea is the home of numerous protected marine animalsas well as vital fishing supplies for the UK and other European countries.

The UK Ocean believes that the collision occurred near two protected areas, including the protected area of ​​the Southern North Sea, which is marked for the protection of the port, according to Naomi Tilley, the leadership of oil and gas in the Ocean UK, an ecological group focused on the oceans.

“This is a really important area of ​​cultivation and in the area there is a really large part of the global population,” she told CBS News on Tuesday.

Solong owner said that contrary to earlier reports, the vessel did not carry sodium cyanide containers, which can produce harmful gas combined 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 Sea bird.

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”.

Alex Luyayanov, who moderates oil outlets at Reading University, said that 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.”
