Major collision off eastern England injures 32 in oil tanker and cargo ship crash
An oil tanker and a cargo ship collided off the eastern coast of England, leading to fires on both vessels and leaving at least 32 people injured. The incident occurred near East Yorkshire, with a massive emergency response deployed to rescue the casualties. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution reported that many people had abandoned the ships, triggering fires on both. Rescue teams brought the injured ashore using various vessels, including a Windcat 33 and a harbor pilot boat.
The exact condition of the casualties was unclear, although they were safely transferred to shore. Martyn Boyers, CEO of the Port of Grimsby East, confirmed the rescue operations, mentioning the presence of a massive fireball. The coastguard agency responded with helicopters, aircraft, and lifeboats to support firefighting efforts.
Stena Bulk, the Swedish company owning the oil tanker, confirmed that the 20-person crew on board had been accounted for. The cargo ship involved is reportedly owned by the German company Reederei Koepping. The collision took place in a busy maritime area, with traffic routes connecting the UK’s northeast ports to the Netherlands and Germany. The International Maritime Organisation is monitoring the situation closely.
