A Russian ship captain has gone on trial over the “entirely avoidable” death of one of his crew in a collision with an oil tanker anchored near the Humber Estuary, a court has heard.
Captain Vladimir Motin, 59, was on sole watch duty when his vessel, the container ship Solong, collided into the US oil tanker the Stena Immaculate, causing the death of Mark Angelo Pernia, 38, last March 10.
