BBC travels out to ‘blistered and burnt’ oil tanker in North Sea – Latest News Update

A BBC inspection of the oil tanker involved in the collision on North Sea has revealed the extent of the damage to the vessel.

Justin Rowlatt said he could see a “huge gash” down the side of the Stena Immaculate from when the Portuguese-flagged cargo ship Solong collided with it off the East Yorkshire coast on 10 March.

While he said at least two million litres of jet fuel had leaked into the ocean, weather conditions brought some positive news.
