The U.S.-flagged tanker Stena Immaculate collided with the Portuguese-flagged Solong container ship, resulting in the leakage of jet fuel. Two of the ship's 18 fuel tanks have leaked, but the majority of the fuel remains contained.

The tanker that was hit at anchor off the coast of England in the North Sea was under contract by Military Sealift Command in support of the Defense Logistics Agency, USNI News has learned. The U.S.-flagged MV Stena Immaculate was at anchor when Portugeuse-flagged container ship MV Solong struck the tanker at about 5:48 a.
