U.K. police say the Solong cargo ship's captain, identified by the vessel's owner as a Russian national, was detained on suspicion of negligent manslaughter.

The coastguard said 36 people were brought ashore, one of whom was hospitalised. Solong's owner, Ernst Russ, later shared that one member of its 14-strong crew was missing. This was confirmed by the coastguard as it announced that the search had been called off.

The U.S.-flagged tanker Stena Immaculate collided with the Portuguese-flagged Solong container ship, resulting in the leakage of jet fuel. Two of the ship's 18 fuel tanks have leaked, but the majority of the fuel remains contained.
