Cargo ship captain arrested over collision in North Sea, owner tells BBC

Fire continues as ship's captain arrested, future of both vessels remains uncertain

11 March 2025

"Summary

- The man arrested by Humberside police is the captain of the Solong cargo ship, the vessel's owner tells the BBC

- Earlier, the police force said that a 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter, following the North Sea collision

- Assistant Chief Coastguard John Craig says flames are still visible on the Solong, with salvage plans in place for both vessels

- One crew member of the Portuguese cargo ship is "assumed deceased", a UK minister says, as the transport secretary says both Solong and US oil tanker Stena Immaculate are expected to stay afloat

- Owners of the cargo ship say it was not carrying sodium cyanide, as previously reported, but had four empty containers that had once held the toxic chemical."

‘Cargo’ a concrete lamp/light sculpture in the shape of a container ship. Or actually four cargo ships. The deck of the ship is divided into four equal sections on which each you can place the wheelhouse or two containers next to each other.
This gives endless possibilities in the appearance and light effects this 'ships lamp' creates.
