Vessel disaster unfolding in the North Sea where 900 TEU container vessel “Solong” collided with the US-flag tanker “Stena Immaculate”

The tanker is reported to be carrying jetfuel.

In these days of US-focus on the scarcity of US-flag vessels to support the navy, this incident is most unfortunate.

Crew appears to have abandoned ships, and it appears all are accounted for except one.
