Stena Immaculate was carrying more than 220,000 barrels of aviation fuel in 16 cargo tanks when it was struck, in an accident that breached one of the tanks.
Port director Richard Goffin said the Port of Great Yarmouth welcomed Stena Immaculate earlier this year, in partnership with the Department for Transport, the Maritime Coastguard Agency and the vessel's owners.
"In our role as statutory harbour authority and as an open port, we have a responsibility to provide safe havens for vessels,” he said.
All 23 people on the tanker were rescued, along with 13 crew from the Solong, but Mr Pernia, 38, could not be located.
