The Cayman Islands has asked the UK’s Maritime Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) to lead an investigation into the explosion onboard the 43,000-dwt chemical tanker Stolt Groenland (built 2009) at the port of Ulsan last week.
The Cayman Islands, which registered the Stolt Tankers' vessel, can call on the expertise of the MAIB as it is a part of the Red Ensign group of ship registers which is led by the UK flag.
