Vladimir Motin, 59, of Primorsky, St Petersburg, is due to appear at Hull Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, Humberside Police confirmed.
In a statement, Humberside Police said: “An investigation by Humberside Police supported by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) into the collision between a tanker and a cargo vessel in the North Sea, off the coast of East Yorkshire, has resulted in a man being charged.”
“The family are being supported by specialist trained officers and our thoughts remain with them at this difficult time,” police said.
The Stena Immaculate remains anchored at the site of the crash, around 12 miles off the East Yorkshire coast near Withernsea. The Solong has since drifted south and is now visible off the Lincolnshire coast.
“There are now only small periodic pockets of fire on the Solong which are not causing undue concern,” he said, adding that specialist tugs with firefighting capabilities remain on standby.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on Thursday that the situation was “reasonably contained.”
“At the moment, the situation is reasonably contained. And, obviously, we will do whatever is necessary.”
The CPS reminded the public that “criminal proceedings against this defendant are now active” and warned against any reporting or commentary that could prejudice the trial.
