Pilot in Tjörn collision seeks acquittal via 30-year-old precedent

The pilot of the cargo ship Misje Verde, involved in a fatal collision with a leisure boat near Tjörn, is citing a 30-year-old appeals court ruling to argue for acquittal. The brother of the deceased leisure boat driver, a trained sea captain, has stated he does not blame the pilot or the ship's captain, lending indirect support. The case hinges on legal precedent and liability interpretation in maritime accidents.
