A 34-year-old man charged with three counts of manslaughter in relation to the sinking of the L'Ecume II trawler has been granted bail.
Alongside Lewis Peter Carr (29) from the UK, Ukrainian national Artur Sevash-Zade is charged in connection with the deaths of skipper Michael Michieli and crew members Jervis Baligat and Larry Simyunn.
The three men died when their fishing vessel L'Ecume II collided with Condor's Commodore Goodwill freight ship on 8 December 2022.
The case has been committed to the Royal Court.
Mr Sevash-Zade appeared in the Magistrate's Court this morning to make a bail application.
After hearing representations from Advocate Mike Preston, who was representing Mr Sevash-Zade, and Legal Adviser Paul Lee, Magistrate Bridget Shaw granted the application.
Bail conditions include residing at a specified address, adhering to a nightly curfew, regularly reporting to police, surrendering all photographic ID, and not leaving the island. He must not contact his co-defendant except via lawyers, and restrictions were also placed on the types of work he will be able to undertake, should he be permitted to do so.
Mr Sevash-Zade and Mr Carr are next due to appear in the Royal Court on 27 September.
