It's any big vehicle, not just tankers. The very device you typed your comment from will have been shipped in one.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? The report was that an oil tanker has burst into flames and spilled it's cargo into the sea. I said it'd be good if we weren't so dependent on shipping oil around (so it doesn't all spill into the sea in an event like this).

Now an arrest.

British politicians have raised concerns that the incident may have involved “foreign interference,” though a cause has yet to be determined. The UK’s maritime minister, Mike Kane, said it was reasonable to ask the question, but they just don’t know yet.


“At the moment, we feel there is no malign intention to this incident. However, the Marine Accident Investigation Branch will investigate,” Kane said, according to the Independent.

Lol the reporter on the news is stood outside Grimsby Police station and the sign has graffiti on it. The police there can't be fucked to even keep their own station clean and protected.

Our police won't do shit.

Unless you post mean words online and are tier 2.
 


tldw: most likely poor seamanship with the bridge undermanned. The ship would be running on autopilot in these waters. Solong also was navigating along its usual route, so a deliberate attempt at ramming is highly unlikely.

Arrested ship's captain is Russian national​


The captain of a cargo ship arrested after a collision with a tanker in the North Sea is a Russian national, the ship's owner has confirmed.

Humberside Police said the 59-year-old man remained in custody after being arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter on Tuesday.

The Portuguese-flagged Solong and the US-registered tanker Stena Immaculate crashed off the East Yorkshire coast at about 10:00 GMT on Monday.

A missing crew member from the cargo ship is presumed dead after a search and rescue operation was called off late on Monday.

Ah, vodka related.

After seeing his friend shoot himself and fall out of a window into the sea, the Russian captain probably just need a light for his cigarette and headed to the largest nearby supply of lighter fuel. All perfectly innocent.
