Mark Angelo Pernia, 38, who was working on the bow of the Solong, died instantly in the fire, although his body was never recovered. Motin, 59, from St Petersburg in Russia, was found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence on Monday, after an Old Bailey jury deliberated for eight hours. He was jailed for six years at the same court on Thursday, as Mr Justice Andrew Baker told him: You were a serious accident waiting to happen.

Garmin has launched the Quatix 8 Pro nautical smartwatch with built-in inReach support, adding satellite and LTE-based communication to its marine-focused wearable lineup. The smartwatch is aimed at users who spend long periods on the water and need communication, navigation, safety, and vessel control features without depending on a smartphone. It supports two-way messaging, voice calling, SOS alerts, and marine controls, while also offering full smartwatch, health, and fitness tracking when used on land.
