UPDATE: 32 casualties brought ashore in Grimsby after the collision between oil tanker Stena Immaculate and cargo ship Solong

32 casualties have been brought ashore in Grimsby after an oil tanker and a cargo vessel collided about 10 miles off the coast of East Yorkshire

Emergency response - including the coastguard rescue, lifeboats and firefighting helicopters - have been called into action following the collision.

More than 30 people have been brought to shore after a crash between an oil tanker and a cargo ship in the North Sea near Hull resulted in a “massive fireball”.

Lifeboats and a coastguard helicopter were called to the collision just before 10am in the Humber Estuary. The vessels involved are believed to be a US-flagged tanker called the MV Stena Immaculate and a container ship called the MV Solong.

Footage of the incident showed vessels on fire, with clouds of black smoke coming out of the oil tanker.

So far 32 casualties have been brought ashore – but some crew members are yet to be accounted for, a port boss told the PA news agency. The casualties’ conditions remain unclear.
