Russian captain jailed for six years after deadly tanker collision | Cameras in court

Watch from the Old Bailey in London as a Russian captain is sentenced after being found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence following a fatal North Sea collision.

Vladimir Motin, 59, was convicted after his container vessel, the Solong, crashed into the Stena Immaculate, an anchored US oil tanker, near the Humber Estuary last March.

His body has never been found.
