What a crazy crash: tanker meets cargo ship off the UK coast
An incident off the east coast of the United Kingdom has caused a large fire and oil spill in the North Sea. The collision involved the Stena Immaculate tanker and the Solong cargo ship. Maritime experts are puzzled by how such a collision could occur in broad daylight.
Investigations Begin
The Maritime Accident Investigation Branch is looking into the incident, ruling out malicious activity as a cause. The Stena Immaculate was carrying U.S. military aviation fuel, leading to a fire and oil spill in the North Sea.
