A collision between a U.S.-flagged oil/product tanker and a Portuguese container ship in the North Sea, north of England, put both vessels on fire, which has since been brought under control. Speculation keeps running rampant over the incident as authorities continue to investigate the root cause behind the allision, as this is being portrayed as a case of a cargo ship striking a stationary object since the tanker was anchored off Hull in the North Sea at the time of the incident.
Stena Bulk reported on March 10, 2025, that its oil/product tanker Stena Immaculate was involved in an allision with the container ship Solong while anchored off Hull in the North Sea, which led to a breach in a cargo tank on the tanker carrying Jet A-1 fuel, enabling fire to break out.
