The captain of the Solong cargo ship, which collided with a tanker carrying U.S. jet fuel in the North Sea, has been identified as a Russian national. The crash resulted in a fire and the presumed death of a sailor. Authorities have arrested the 59-year-old captain on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. The ship’s owner, Ernst Russ, confirmed the captain’s nationality, while the rest of the crew consisted of Russian and Filipino sailors. Investigations are ongoing, but UK officials have ruled out foul play.
