Police questioning the captain of a container ship which crashed into a US oil tanker in the North Sea say they have been given extra time to hold the 59-year-old Russian “due to the complexities of the incident”.
Humberside Police confirmed on Friday that magistrates had granted a further extension to the time detectives can hold the sailor, who was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter on Monday evening, hours after the collision between his vessel, the Solong, and the Stena Immaculate off the east coast of Yorkshire.
