British police said on Friday that they have charged the Russian captain of a container ship that crashed into a U.S. tanker earlier this week.

The captain of the Portuguese-flagged Solong, the 59-year-old Russian Vladimir Motin, has been charged with gross negligence, manslaughter and been remanded in police custody to appear at Hull Magistrates Court on Saturday, the police said in a statement.
