Advertisements

A cargo ship involved in a crash with an oil tanker in the North Sea has been towed to Aberdeen.

The impact between the Solong and the US-registered tanker Stena Immaculate in the North Sea, off East Yorkshire, on 10 March caused an explosion and fires.

The Portuguese-flagged Solong is berthed at the Scottish port for damage assessment.

One crew member – a Filipino national – is missing and presumed dead. The ship’s Russian captain has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter.

Solong arrived in Aberdeen after a tug-assisted journey lasting several days.
