Tanker and Cargo Ship Collide in North Sea
ai generated text
A tanker and a cargo vessel collided in the North Sea off the northeastern coast of England. The collision occurred in a busy shipping lane off East Yorkshire, with both vessels on fire. At least 32 people were injured, with several lifeboats and a coast guard rescue helicopter dispatched to the scene.
HM Coastguard is currently co-ordinating the emergency response to reports of a collision between a tanker and cargo vessel off the coast of East Yorkshire.
The current focus is on the firefighting and search and rescue operation. In due course a full marine casualty investigation report should be submitted to the International Maritime Organization.
It's too far out for us to see – about 10 miles [16km] – but we have seen the vessels bringing them in.
It seems a mystery, really, because all the vessels now have very highly sophisticated technical equipment to plot courses and to look at any obstacles or anything they've got to avoid.
It's difficult to actually suggest what went on, other than the fact it should never have happened.
The incident remains ongoing and an assessment of the likely counter pollution response required is being enacted.
The 183 metre long oil tanker was at anchor off the coast of Humber Estuary when it was struck by the 140 metre long container ship.
