Arrr, me hearties! A scallywag from Russia be revealed as the captain o' the clumsy cargo ship that bonked heads with an American tanker, spillin’ jet fuel into Davy Jones' locker! Now the fish be smellin’ like fancy jets, and the sea be holdin’ a right ruckus!
Aye, mateys! Gather 'round for a tale of mishaps on the briny deep! A buccaneer of Russian descent, the captain of the cargo vessel Solong, found himself in a right pickle after his ship collided with the U.S. tanker, the Stena Immaculate, off the merry coast of England. The clash ignited a blazing inferno, spilling jet fuel into the watery abyss and leaving one poor soul feared lost to Davy Jones' locker.This 59-year-old sea dog now sits in the clink under the watchful eye of the British constabulary, suspected of grievous negligence. The crew, a motley crew of Russians and Filipinos, are in quite the kerfuffle. While the U.S. tanker was anchored safely, the Solong had been inspected last summer in Dublin and found wantin' in ten different ways! Steering issues and faulty alarms made it a ship of ill repute.
But lo, the U.K. authorities suspect no foul play, despite the fiery mishap. With the Solong still ablaze and drifting like a lost ghost ship, the fate of the jet fuel it spilled remains uncertain. ‘Tis a right mess on the high seas! So heed this tale, ye scallywags: safety be a treasure more precious than gold! Arrr!
