Oil tanker bursts into flames after colliding with cargo ship leaving at least 32 casualties

A collision occurred this morning about 10 miles off the coast of England, involving a US oil tanker and a Portuguese-flagged cargo ship, leaving at least 32 casualties. The crash took place near the Humber Estuary in the North Sea, with the alarm raised around 9:48 am on March 10.

The incident involved the US-flagged oil tanker Stena Immaculate, which was stationary, and the MV Solong, a container ship traveling from Scotland to Rotterdam. The collision ignited a massive fire, with reports suggesting the oil tanker was carrying highly flammable jet fuel.

A major rescue operation is underway, and some crew members have abandoned the ships, fleeing into the water to escape the flames. Initial reports indicate 13 casualties were brought to shore, followed by additional rescues. The condition of the casualties remains unclear.

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch has sent a team to Grimsby to assess the situation and begin their investigation into the cause of the collision. The rescue teams continue their search, with efforts to assist those stranded and prevent further danger.
