Captain jailed for one year after ferry crash
The captain of a ship which collided with a passenger ferry in the North, causing more than £1m (€1.25m) of damage, has today been jailed for a year.
Miroslaw Pozniak (aged 55) admitted crashing his cargo boat while three times over the alcohol limit but said it was because of news of his wife's ill-health, his defence barrister told Downpatrick Crown Court.
