Edition No112 | 13-03-2025 - On Monday morning the Solong sailed into the US-registered tanker Stena Immaculate, which was carrying fuel for the US Navy. Fires broke out on board both vessels. It may not come as a huge surprise to many who are paying attention to Russia’s hybrid war against Europe, but the captain of the Solong container ship is a Russian national. He is now under arrest. The incident occurred 13 miles off the coast of East Yorkshire. 36 people were rescued, and one is missing presumed dead. The rest of the crew were Russian and Filipino nationals, according to German shipping company Ernst Russ. Police said a a 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence and manslaughter in connection with Monday's collision. Police are working with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, in relation to a criminal probe into the cause of the collision between the US-registered Stena Immaculate and the Portuguese-flagged Solong. It can hardly be a coincidence, that the tanked was carrying critical fuel for the military. The tanker was carrying Jet-A1 fuel for the US Navy as part of a United States government programme designed to supply American armed forces with fuel in Europe. But authorities say there no indication of any malicious activity, and they have found no evidence of foul play in the crash. It's been reported that authorities from the US and Portugal will lead the investigation into what happened, along with UK's Marine Accident Investigation Branch. ----------https://dzygaspaw.com/triad-silicon-curtain?notes=Jonathan%20Fink%20for%20TRIAD&project=Triad:%20Night%20Drones----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------LINKS:https://news.sky.com/story/captain-of-solong-container-ship-involved-in-north-sea-crash-is-russian-national-company-says-13326888https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/12/captain-arrested-over-uk-ship-collision-is-russian-owner-sayshttps://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/03/12/uk-police-arrest-russian-captain-over-north-sea-ship-collision-a88332----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.
