    1. This is a ship that, unfortunately, is pretty much gone.
    2. I know that what has happened is going to take quite a bit of time to process.
    3. But everyone came through, and that, I have to say, is down to the professionalism [of the crew], the training and their own courage.
    4. I look forward to pinpointing the cause so that we can learn from it and avoid a repeat.
    5. It's got a lot of oil on board. It's got all sorts of things. It's got lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, diesel … it's got a lot of stuff in it.

    1. If you're unsure about our sea areas, please be careful, take caution and stay safe.
    2. Fortunately, no-one was heavily injured and no lives were lost.

    1. When we got there, it wasn't on fire. We watched the fire take hold and the whole infrastructure was burning pretty brightly. You could see it was listed over, and then it just went down and [was] gone.

    1. The impact is crazy. There's so many green sea turtles in that area. So many sting rays.
