Описание: A container ship which collided with a US tanker in the North Sea, leading to its captain being charged with gross negligence manslaughter, has arrived in Aberdeen.

Portuguese vessel Solong was towed to the Scottish city for “safe berthing” after it crashed into the anchored tanker Stena Immaculate off the East Yorkshire coast on March 10.

Rescuers saved 36 people from both ships, with one sailor from the Solong – named as Filipino national Mark Angelo Pernia, 38, missing presumed dead.
