A 63-year-old Ukrainian captain was detained on Sunday for a hit-and-run case at sea.
According to the Ministry of Public Safety and Security’s Yeosu maritime branch, the man is being accused of sailing a 62,000-ton Singaporean oil tanker that collided with a four-ton fishing vessel on Thursday, 17 kilometers east off Ando-ri, Nam-myeon, of South Jeolla Province’s Yeosu City.

The fishing vessel’s captain fell into the sea due to the collision and was found dead from drowning half an hour later.
The Ukrainian captain allegedly did not stop for rescue, and fled 56 kilometers away from the scene of the accident before he was arrested by maritime police Friday.
