Russian Captain of Container Ship Solong Charged With Manslaughter
Russian Captain of Container Ship Remanded in Custody Charged With Manslaughter Over Crash in North Sea Crash with US Oil Tanker STENA
The Russian captain of a container ship which crashed into a US oil tanker and killed a 38 year old crew member has been remanded in custody after being charged with gross negligence manslaughter.
MailOnline 15 MAR 2025
The Stena Immaculate was carrying 142,000 barrels of jet fuel which led to a 'massive fireball' following the crash and potentially devastating environmental consequences.
The court heard how all 23 people on the tanker were rescued along with 13 of 14 crew members from the Solong but Mark Angelo Pernia - a 38-year-old Filipino national - could not be located.
The Crown Prosecution Service previously confirmed that Mr Pernia died following the collision between the two vessels.
There was no application for bail and Motin was remanded in custody by deputy chief magistrate Tan Ikram, who appeared via videolink.
No pleas were entered. Motin will appear next at the Old Bailey on April 14.
