North Sea ship crash: Crew of US oil tanker praised as 'heroic'
The crew of the US oil tanker Stena Immaculate acted heroically by activating a fire-fighting system before abandoning the ship, according to Crowley, the maritime company managing the vessel.
A total of 17,515 barrels of Jet-A1 fuel were confirmed lost due to the incident, as stated by Crowley, although the remaining cargo is secure.
The Coastguard indicated there was no current pollution threat from the tanker, and salvage efforts continue to manage the situation.
The Coastguard reported no pollution from the tanker and noted that nurdles were identified onshore, which can harm wildlife if ingested.
