Danish authorities are close to deciding whether Maersk Supply Service will be prosecuted in a case about two shipwrecked vessels that sank in December 2016.

The unmanned vessels were tethered together and towed by a third ship on their way to a scrapping yard in Turkey when they sank off the coast of France.
