The captain of the container vessel SOLONG has
been charged with gross negligence manslaughter following a collision with an
oil tanker that left one crew member presumed dead. Vladimir Motin, 59, of St. Petersburg, Russia, will appear at Hull
Magistrates Court on March 15 following the incident that occurred off
England’s East Yorkshire coast. The collision between the Portuguese-registered SOLONG and
the US-registered tanker STENA IMMACULATE happened on March 10
just before 10:00 local time. According to initial reports, the SOLONG was traveling
at 16.4 knots when it struck the anchored STENA IMMACULATE.
The incident prompted a major emergency response,
with 36 crew members successfully evacuated.
One crew member from the SOLONG remains missing and is
presumed deceased.
Of particular
environmental concern is the STENA IMMACULATE’s cargo of
220,000 barrels of Jet-A1 fuel, though aerial surveillance has detected no
pollution from either vessel. The UK Health Security Agency has assessed the
public health risk as “very low”.
Firefighting operations continue on the SOLONG,
where small fires persist but are “not causing undue concern,” according to
authorities. A multi-agency
investigation is now underway, led by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch
(MAIB) in cooperation with U.S. and Portuguese authorities. Investigators
are examining voyage data recorders and will assess navigational practices,
fatigue management, and environmental conditions.
Salvage experts from SMIT Salvage have boarded the STENA
IMMACULATE to conduct damage assessments and develop a salvage plan.
