Summary

The Russian captain of the cargo ship Solong remains in U.K. custody after its collision with a U.S. military-contracted tanker, Stena Immaculate, in the North Sea.

One sailor is missing, and both vessels caught fire. Authorities found no foul play but are investigating. The Solong had previously failed safety inspections in 2023, including steering-related issues.

The crash caused jet fuel to spill, raising environmental concerns, though Greenpeace suggests an “environmental disaster may have been narrowly averted.”

UK authorities have found no evidence of foul play as US and Portugal lead the investigation.
