No it doesn't look good.

But how the **** do 2 ships like that collide in the North Sea in daylight when one of them is at anchor? Heads should roll but I bet they don't.

 

needs its own thread in my opinion

its a huge incident

 

However, unusually, this is one of just ten oil tankers enlisted in a US government programme which is designed to supply the armed forces with fuel during times of armed conflict or national emergency.

now im not one to do conspiracy but...

 

Visibility can be awful in the North Sea but basic navigation aids can mitigate that.

It’s very puzzling and the conspiracy theories are going into overdrive.

 

No reports of bad weather but it's quite busy in the area. But, the North Sea is quite wide, I reckon a bloke drinking tea on the bridge of the freighter might have seen an oil tanker.

 

It was very foggy wasnt it ?

 

Ever heard of radar and shipping lanes? I bet my old man is spinning in his grave right now.

 

The other vessel…Solong vessel was carrying sodium cyanide - from BBC

Any chemical engineering experts on here? Does anything nasty happen when you mix cyanide & jet fuel???

 

Sounds like a lot of people (near to 40) to be manning a relatively small cargo ship and a tanker. When the pirate attacks were going on near to Somalia and Ethiopia they were saying that even the big cargo ships would only have a small number of crew on board.

 

You seen the locals in Wivv ?

 

Why was the BBC shipping Cyanide CT?

****kkkk

 

All shipping has now been banned from leaving the Humber.

 

Not been on a Dutch Dash for yonks.

 

Bit like the motorway getting completely closed in both directions for a minor incident.

 

They're saying one crew member off the cargo ship is missing, all other crew off both ships are safe.
