<p>The captain of a Portuguese-registered cargo ship was arrested this week after his ship rammed into a United States-flagged tanker in the North Sea that was under contract by the United States military to transport jet fuel.</p>
<p>The 59-year-old Russian national, who has not yet been identified, was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter by British authorities shortly after the incident occurred.</p>
<p>Officials <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-flagged-ship-contracted-by-u-s-military-hit-in-north-sea">have not</a> ruled out foul play after the United States-flagged MV Stena Immaculate was struck by the Portuguese-flagged MV Solong container ship on Monday while at anchor off the coast of the U.K.</p>
<p>USNI News reported that the ship was under a 70-day contract by Military Sealift Command to support the Defense Logistics Agency, which is responsible for managing fuel for the United States military.</p>
<p>“The collision and ensuing explosions will not impact operations or combat readiness,” a United States official told Reuters. “We do not have a single point of failure.”</p>
<p>While there is no official indication that Russia was behind the incident, officials have been on heightened alert amid Russia&#8217;s ongoing war in Ukraine as it is believed that they were behind sabotage efforts that have destroyed undersea cables and various <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/western-intel-officials-russia-behind-arson-attack-at-german-factory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">manufacturing sites</a> throughout Europe of components critical to Ukraine&#8217;s war effort. They are also believed to have been behind a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/russia-plot-us-planes-incendiary-devices-de3b8c0a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">foiled plot</a> to place bombs on cargo planes destined for the United States.</p>
<p>Martyn Boyers, chief executive of the nearby Port of Grimsby East, told CNN that he was shocked by the accident given that it should have been easily avoided.</p>
<p>“It seems a mystery, really, because all the vessels now have very highly sophisticated technical equipment to plot courses and to look at any obstacles or anything they’ve got to avoid,” he said.</p>
<p>He said that there had to have been &#8220;warning signs&#8221; on the Solong.</p>
<p>&#8220;They must have been able to detect it on the radar,” he said.</p>
<p>The moment that the incident occurred was captured on video by Orca AI’s SeaPod unit. The video includes standard video, which shows that there was fog involved, and thermal imaging.</p>
