The captain of the Solong ship who was arrested after a collision with a tanker off the coast of England is a Russian national, the ship’s owner, Ernst Russ, said.
The rest of the crew were Russian and Philippine nationals, the company said.
Humberside police said a 59-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter after the search was called off for a sailor onboard the Solong, which drifted ablaze off the coast of Yorkshire on Tuesday.
