0:36Now PlayingThe manager of an oil tanker on fire near the UK said the vessel spilled jet fuel after it was crashed into by a cargo ship off the country’s east coast.
The crew of the tanker, the Stena Immaculate, has abandoned the vessel after multiple explosions on board, Jacksonville, Florida-based ship manager Crowley said in a statement. One person is still missing from the container ship that crashed into it, a spokesperson for its owners said. The oil tanker was holding about 140,000 barrels of jet fuel at the time, analytics firm Kpler estimates.
The incident is one of the most significant maritime disasters near the UK for many years.
A major support operation is now underway and is being co-ordinated by the local coastguard, according to a separate statement from Stena, which owns the tanker. The incident took place in the North Sea a few miles off the country’s eastern coastline.
Greenpeace UK said it was too soon to assess the environmental impact. The extent of any damage will depend on the fuel carried by both ships and how much enters the water. Sea and weather conditions will also play an important role.
