The cargo ship ‘Solong’, one of the vessels that make up the Madeira International Shipping Register’s ‘fleet’, collided this morning with a North American oil tanker, northeast of England. The news is being reported by Notícias ao Minuto.

There is currently no information about any injuries.

According to the website ‘Vessel Finder’, the cargo ship was heading to the Netherlands and the US-flagged oil tanker ‘Stena Immaculate’ was heading to the United Kingdom.

After the alarm was raised at 9:50 am, at least one UK coastguard helicopter was called to help with the rescue.

The U.S.-flagged oil/chemical tanker Stena Immaculate is on fire fire after being struck by the Portugal-flagged container ship Solong while at anchor off the Humber Estuary in the United Kingdom. Search and rescue helicopters were dispatched to the scene to assist.
