Event Summary

Captain Vladimir Motin of the container ship Solong is on trial for manslaughter following a collision with the US oil tanker 2025 North Sea ship collision near the Humber Estuary on March 10, 2025. Motin, on sole watch duty, allegedly failed to avert the collision despite clear warnings, leading to the death of crewman Mark Angelo Pernia. The Solong, carrying hazardous substances, crashed into the anchored 2025 North Sea ship collision, which was transporting over 220,000 barrels of Jet fuel. The impact caused a fire and fuel leakage, with the 2025 North Sea ship collision's operator, Crowley Maritime, reporting damage to one tank. Motin has denied the charges, and the trial continues at the Old Bailey.
