A
couple of days ago a Portuguese flagged cargo ship ran into an anchored
U.S. flagged oil tanker in the North Sea, resulting in a fire, an oil
spill and at least one man missing and presumed dead. It was more than a
little foggy at the time.
The 59-year old master of the Portuguese vessel is now under arrest on suspicion of negligent manslaughter.
Both
vessels are now undergoing a thorough safety review to determine what
caused the collision, other than possible negligence. The vessels are
being detained by the U.K. Coast Guard until the matter is cleared up.
