Published Mar 10, 2025 11:03 AM by The Maritime Executive

UK authorities and the shipping companies provided updates late on Monday reporting more than 12 hours after a feeder containership hit a tanker anchored off the UK, the fires are continuing to burn. One crewmember from the containership was reported missing while 36 people were evacuated to shore in the UK with one crewmember remaining in a local hospital.

In addition to the jet fuel that was spilling from the Stena vessel, the Solong is reported to have 18 containers of sodium cyanide on board. It is a highly toxic chemical and the U.S. CDC reports, “Containers may explode when heated or if they are contaminated with water.”
