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.

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

Small pockets of fire burned for days on the ship before being extinguished.

Burnt tiny plastic pellets, known as nurdles, have been washed up along the east coast in the aftermath of the collision.
