North Sea collision: Cargo ship hits US Government-chartered tanker, 32 injured in massive fire
A container ship carrying sodium cyanide collided with a tanker holding 35 million litres of jet fuel off UK coast.
The collision caused explosions and a fuel leak into the North Sea, with 32 crew members injured.
UK authorities are assessing the environmental impact and coordinating a firefighting and rescue operation.
The 32 injured crew were brought ashore for treatment in three vessels, Grimsby port director Martyn Boyers told AFP, adding that “ambulances were queueing on the quay” in the northeastern English fishing port.
