🔥🚢Massive Fire and Evacuation After Oil Tanker and Cargo Ship Crash 🚢🔥

An oil tanker and a cargo ship have collided in the North Sea, about 13 miles off the coast of East Yorkshire, sparking a massive fire and an emergency evacuation. Witnesses reported a huge fireball following the impact, forcing the crew of the Stena Immaculate oil tanker to abandon the vessel after multiple explosions. A total of 32 people have been evacuated, some transported to shore on high-speed vessels.

The cargo ship, identified as Solong, was sailing under a Portuguese flag en route to Rotterdam, while the Stena Immaculate, under a U.S. flag, was reportedly anchored at the time of the collision. Preliminary reports suggest that the cargo vessel may have been on autopilot when the crash occurred.

Rescue teams, including helicopters and vessels from the Coast Guard and RNLI, have been deployed to the area to contain the fire and assess the extent of the disaster. Authorities are investigating a potential fuel spill and the environmental impact of the accident.

🌊🚨 Rescue operations are ongoing as the maritime and environmental communities closely monitor the situation.
