US EditionCargo ship that collided with US tanker in North Sea towed to Scottish port of Aberdeen
- On March 10, the Portuguese-flagged container ship Solong crashed into the anchored US oil tanker Stena Immaculate off the East Yorkshire coast, resulting in an explosion and fires.
- The Solong, owned by Ernst Russ AG, was badly damaged in the collision, leading to the loss of cargo and environmental concerns.
- Following the collision, 36 crew members from both ships were rescued, but 38-year-old Filipino national Mark Angelo Pernia is missing and presumed dead.
- The collision released thousands of plastic pellets, known as nurdles, into the sea, which have begun washing up on beaches along the east coast of England, prompting local authorities to initiate cleanup efforts.
- The Solong was towed to the Port of Aberdeen where marine assessors and insurers will evaluate the damage, while the ship's 59-year-old Russian captain, Vladimir Motin, has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter and is due to appear in court in April with a provisional trial date set for January 2026.
