The Russian captain of a cargo ship, who hit an American tanker in North Sea, on Friday requested not to be guilty of killing a team of one of his teams in the UK court. Vladimir Motin, a 59 -year -old from St. Petersburg, appeared from the prison for a pretrial hearing at the Central Criminal Court in London. Assisting by a Russian interpreter, he denied allegations of gross murder on the death of 38 -year -old Mark Angelo Parnia. Motin was detained until his next hearing, and his test was scheduled for 12 January. Portugal-Flagged cargo ship Solong was traveling at about 15 knots (17 mph or 28 km per hour), when it was hitting anchor MV Stena Bedag, about 12 miles (19 km) from the coast of North-East England on March 10, colliding with MV Stana Baedag, a tanker, which had gone for about a week. The tanker was transporting jet fuel to the US Army. The rescue team rescued 36 people from both ships. Parnia from the Philippines is missing and considered dead. Britain officials have said that there is nothing to indicate that the collision was related to national security. Environmental damage to the collision was initially very low from fear, although thousands of pellets used in plastic production, known as Nurdals, were washed along the east coast of England from broken containers on Solong. Protectionists say that Noords are not toxic, but if animals can be damaged when agitated.
