The Stena Immaculate tanker involved in Monday’s collision with another ship off the coast of northeast England was reported to have released some jet fuel after sustaining a ruptured cargo tank, U.S. logistics group Crowley said.
“The Stena Immaculate sustained a ruptured cargo tank containing Jet-A1 fuel due to the allision,” said a statement from Crowley, which manages the tanker.
“A fire occurred as a result of the allision, and fuel was reported released. The Stena Immaculate crew abandoned the vessel following multiple explosions onboard. All Crowley mariners are safe and fully accounted for”.
