North Sea crash: Man arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter

The container vessel Solong involved in a collision in the North Sea off the Humber Estuary, UK on March 10 with the chemical/product tanker USA-flagged Stena Immaculate managed by Crowley, is unlikely to remain afloat, according to British maritime minister Mike Kane. However, the HM Coastguard said yesterday that a tug is holding Solong offshore in a safer position. Meanwhile, Humberside Police on Tuesday said it arrested a 59-year-old man on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the collision.

He wasn’t named
