Danish authorities on Tuesday charged a 30-year-old British seaman with negligent manslaughter over a fatal cargo ship collision last year, with the “particularly aggravating” factor that the suspect was allegedly drunk on his watch.
Two crew members of the Danish-flagged Karin Hoj were killed on December 13 after the freighter collided with the British Scot Carrier in the Baltic Sea off southern Sweden and capsized, without sinking.

The Briton was also charged with failing to provide help or assistance to the crew of the Karin Hoj.
