A jury at the Old Bailey have been shown CCTV footage of a cargo ship crashing into an oil tanker in the North Sea, causing an explosion and killing a crew member.
Footage from the bridge of the Stenna Immaculate shows the Solong hitting its left-hand side and flames engulfing the ships.
A video from a nearby ship was also shown in court, which captured the explosion on a thermal camera.
Vladimir Motin was in charge of the cargo ship when it collided with the tanker off the East Yorkshire coast on 10 March, leaving Mark Angelo Pernia, 38, missing presumed dead.
Motin, from Primorsky in St Petersburg, Russia, denies gross negligence manslaughter.
