Russia’s Vladimir Motin Charged With Killing Filipino Mark Angelo Pernia in North Sea Vessel Crash

Vladimir Motin, from St Petersburg, Russia, has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter.

Frank Ferguson, Head of the Crown Prosecution Service Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, said the CPS had authorised Humberside Police to charge the Russian in relation to a collision involving two vessels in the North Sea off the east coast of England. 

“The Portuguese-registered cargo ship, the Solong, collided with the American-registered oil tanker, the Stena Immaculate, just before 10:00 a.m. on Monday, 10 March 2025. Filipino national Mark Angelo Pernia, 38, died.”

Ferguson added, “Vladimir Motin, 59, from St Petersburg, Russia, who was the vessel’s captain, is due to be charged with one count of gross negligence manslaughter. The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are now active and that he has the right to a fair trial. 

“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

Motin appeared at Hull Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.
