A 59-year-old arrested after a cargo ship crashed into an oil tanker in the North Sea has been confirmed as the cargo ship’s captain.

The US-flagged MV Stena Immaculate was anchored off the Humber Estuary, 10 miles from Hull, when it burst into flames following ‘multiple explosions’.

It was loaded with more than 200,000 tons of highly flammable kerosene for American warplanes when it was hit by the MV Solong.

At least 37 crew aboard both vessels had an astonishing escape as ‘multiple explosions’.

One person remains missing, presumed dead. They were a member of the Solong’s crew.

Now the Solong’s owner, Ernst Russ, has confirmed the man arrested is their ship’s captain.

In a statement, the company said: ‘The master of the containership Solong has been detained by Humberside Police in the UK.

‘The master and our entire team are actively assisting with the investigations.

‘Out of respect for the investigation and all involved we will not comment further at this time.’
