LIVE: Fire and Smoke Rise After Container Ship Hits US Tanker Off UK Coast | US Military

Jet fuel is pouring into the sea off northeast England after a tanker carrying fuel for the U.S. military was struck by a container ship Monday. Two maritime security sources said so far there was no sign of malicious activity. Ships with firefighting capabilities, lifeboats, and a helicopter arrived at the scene Monday morning. Britain’s coastguard said 36 people were rescued, but one person remained missing. The crash happened off the port city of Hull, at 10am. Shipping industry sources say the waterway was busy with traffic running from the ports along Britain’s northeast coast to the Netherlands and Germany. The tanker, called the Stena Immaculate, is operated by U.S. logistics group Crowly. They said the vessel was anchored when it was struck by the Portuguese-flagged cargo ship Solong.
