The master of the feedermax arrested after a fiery collision with a laden tanker in the North Sea is a Russian national, shipowner Ernst Russ confirmed on Wednesday.
The 59-year-old is in custody on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter after the Portuguese-flagged 804-teu Solong (built 2005) ploughed into a Stena Bulk tanker, which was carrying a cargo of US military jet fuel.
