A 🇺🇸 U.S flagged oil tanker carrying jet fuel was struck by a cargo ship in the North Sea off the coast of eastern England on Monday, triggering multiple explosions, setting both vessels on fire and sending fuel pouring into the water, officials said. An English port boss said he had been told there was "a massive fireball" following the collision.

The oil tanker which burst into flames after being struck by a cargo ship was 'essential for US national security' and had been loaded with 142,000 barrels of jet fuel, it has emerged today.

Dozens of people have been rescued after the MV Stena Immaculate exploded into a 'massive fireball' off the Yorkshire coast today, leaking some 18,000 tonnes of fuel into the North Sea.

Several hours after the collision happened, the cargo ship's owner said one crew member was missing. Efforts to locate the missing crew member were ongoing, the German-based Ernst Russ said in a statement.

Earlier, local lawmaker Graham Stuart said he was told by U.K. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander that 37 crew were aboard the two ships, with one hospitalized and the other 36 mariners safe and ed for.

Crowley Maritime, which operates the U.S.-flagged chemical and oil products carrier MV Stena Immaculate, said the tanker was anchored in the North Sea off the coast of Hull, about 155 miles north of London, when it was struck by the Portugal-flagged container ship Solong.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office said details of the collision and its cause "are still becoming clear." Abdul Khalique, head of the Maritime Center at Liverpool John Moores University, said it appeared the crew of the cargo ship had not been "maintaining a proper lookout by radar" as required by international maritime regulations.

The Stena Immaculate was at anchor near the port of Grimsby, according to ship-tracking site VesselFinder. The Solong was sailing from Grangemouth in Scotland to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. According to the BBC, the Stena Immaculate was en route from Agio Theodoroi in Greece to Killingholme in the U.K.

It is one of just 10 tankers enlisted in a U.S. government program designed to supply the armed forces with fuel during times of armed conflict or national emergency, the BBC reported.

A cargo tank on the ship containing jet fuel ruptured, leaking fuel and a fire broke out, Crowley said.

The 🇺🇸 US and 🇬🇧 Britain needs to send their sailors and pilots to Nigeria for 6 months on an intense Naval and Aviation training course. It's becoming both alarming and embarrassing.

For years no such incidents in Nigeria. Shows you the quality of our Navy & Air Force.

🇳🇬 Nigeria is power ❤️

See people wey wan fight Putin

Funny enough, Russian subs are beneath that carnage just laughing & sipping vodka undetected.

It's well.

US needs some days of National Prayer and Fasting.

Definitely some negligences caused this but, they need some more supernatural protection from above.

Environmental pollution

This happened yesterday. The American ship was anchored (like Car parked) when the Portuguese ship collided with it. Look like a terrorist attack or engine malfunction because about 9 other ships es that same place earlier and all adjusted their sailing to avoid the anchored ship except this one that just went straight into it.

This your headline is wrong.
If I park my car by the side of the road and another driver came and rammed into my car..does that mean I collided with the car that rammed into me?

If this incident had happened in the middle east, western media would've blamed "Islamic terrorists" without an iota of evidence and stupid people around the world would take that in line, hook and sinker solely because of islamaphobia. You wonder why they're not blaming atheist, Christian, bhuddist terrorists, etc now. See how God is shaming world's no.1 hypocrites.
