AI Summary:
An oil tanker and a cargo ship collided off eastern England. One crew member was reported missing hours after the collision. Both vessels have sustained significant damage in the impact of the collision and subsequent fire. Both the oil tanker, the Stena Immaculate, and the cargo vessel, Solong, were on fire off the northeastern coast of England. British media showed images of a plume of black smoke and flames rising from the scene. Local MP Graham Stuart had initially reported that all 37 crew aboard the two ships had been accounted for and that one was hospitalised. ‘Ruptured’ fuel tank Crowley said the Stena Immaculate sustained a ruptured cargo tank containing Jet-A1 fuel. Later it emerged that the Solong cargo ship had been carrying 15 containers of sodium cyanide, a toxic chemical used mainly in gold mining. Environmental group Greenpeace said it was “extremely concerned” about “multiple toxic hazards” from the crash.

The Solong was basically on autopilot and ran straight into Immaculate at 16 knots. She made no attempt to maneuver.
