British police on Tuesday arrested a cargo ship on suspicion of murder when they were looking for answers about why this Click on the tankers that transported reactive fuel for US troops By eastern England a day earlier, setting both courts. One sailor was considered dead in the collision.
Hamberside police said the 59-year-old boy was detained “on suspicion of gross negligence as a result of a confusion.” He was not named the police and he was not charged.
The Ernst Russia shipping company, the owner of the Portugal Carrier from Solong, said the arrested man was the owner of the ship. It states that “and our whole team is actively helping the investigation.”
The American crew member of the American bristles impeccable tanker, who anonymously talked to CBS News because he was not allowed to talk to the media about the catastrophe, said the ship was secured at the place where the collision took place. The tanker handed over his coordinates, the man said, meaning that all other courts in the area had to know his position.
The crew member said that one -off “came out of blue” And she was struck by Sonna.
He said he was next to the part of the Stana where Solang had his influence, and that he had only a second to respond when he heard the screams to put a blow.
The government said the cause of the collision is being investigated. There were no indications for obscene game, but this caused fear of significant environmental damage.

Britain's representatives watched bird damage and sea life after reactive fuel poured into the North Sea when the Solong Broadsed The Shena on Monday. The collision caused explosions and fires that burned for more than 24 hours.
The US official reported CBS News on Monday that Stana carries a cargo in support of the Ministry of Defense. The collision did not affect operations and combat readiness, the official said.
The footage removed from the helicopter on Tuesday morning showed that the fire was heavily on the one, which had a great clutter on the port.

The UK Coast Guard Agency said Tuesday that Solong remains. It states that the cargo ship, the front end of which was crushed and blackened, drifting south, away from the tanker, and near both ships was created about half a million.
“There are no signs of pollution at this time,” said British Transport Minister Mike Kane in the House of Commons.
The government said the air quality testimony was normal and the risk to health care was “very low”.
Kane initially stated that it was expected to plunge, but the government later stated that both courts would probably remain afloat.
The collision caused a large rescue operation with rescue boats, coastal aircraft and commercial ships in the foggy northern sea.
All but one of the 37 crew members were safely taken to the Grimsby port, about 150 miles (north of London, without serious injuries. One crew was missing and the coast guard dismissed the search on Monday.
“Our working assumption is that, unfortunately, the sailor died,” Kane said.
The Department of Investigation of Sea Pancakes in the UK began to gather evidence that the Solang, related to Grangemut, Scotland, to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, hit a stationary tanker, which was attached to about 10 miles from the English coast.
The investigation will be managed by the US and Portugal, the countries where the courts are indicated.
The 596-foot Sons Immaculate operated under the US Security Program, a group of commercial vessels that can be concluded to move fuel for the military. His operator, based at the US Maritime Management firm, said she transported 220,000 barrels Jet-A1 in 16 tanks, at least one of which was the gap.
The company said it was unclear how much fuel was leaked into the sea.
Northern is the home of a number of protective marine animalsAs well as vital fishing actions for the UK and other European countries.
The UK ocean believes that the collision has occurred about two protected areas, including the Sea North Sea, which is intended to protect Harbor Porpoisa, Naomi Tili, an oil and gas company leading to Oceana UK, an environmental group oriented.
“This is a really important sphere of breeding, and a large part of the world population has been found in this area,” she said CBS News on Tuesday.
The Solong owner said that contrary to preliminary reports, the vessel did not carry sodium cyanide containers that could produce harmful gas combined with water. It states that four empty containers previously contained a chemical.
“Our team is actively involved with all the local authorities, and we will work with cleaning teams to ensure all efforts to mitigate further impact on the maritime environment,” the company said.
Greenpeace UK said it is early to estimate the degree of any environmental damage from the collision that occurred near the occupied fishing platforms and large seabirds.
Environmentalists have stated that oil and chemicals create a risk for maritime life, including whales and dolphins and birds, including tensions, ganima and gillmots that live on coastal rocks.
Tom Webb, Senior Lecturer at Maritime Ecology and Keeping at the University of Sheffield, said the wild nature along the coast “has a huge biological, cultural and economic importance.”
Alex Lucanov, who simulates oil spilling at the University of Reading, said the environmental impact would depend on several factors, including “spilling, weather conditions, seawater, water waves, wind and oil type.”
“This particular incident is anxious because it seems to provide a steady oil that is slowly splitting in the water,” he said. “The number of ecological fees can be serious.”
