Crashed cargo ship Solong arrives in Aberdeen

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 on 10 March, off East Yorkshire, caused an explosion and fires.

The Portuguese-flagged Solong will berth 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.
