LONDON — The Russian captain of a cargo ship that collided with a U.S. tanker earlier this week appeared in a U.K. court Saturday where he was remanded in custody over the death of a crew member, who is missing and presumed dead.
Vladimir Motin, the master of the Portugal-flagged cargo vessel Solong, appeared in Hull Magistrates’ Court after being charged with “gross negligence manslaughter.”
No pleas were entered and Motin will appear next at the Central Criminal Court, better known as the Old Bailey, on April 14.
