UK Oil Tanker Collision Causes Ongoing Fire

As a result of a collision between an oil tanker and a ship-to-shore container at the coast of England, a fire broke out that has not yet been extinguished. The incident occurred on a Monday. So far, the UK government has not commented on the incident.

No information has been released about the injured or deceased. For now, the United Kingdom's fleet, aviation, and rescue services are participating in the operation to extinguish the fire and mitigate the aftermath of the collision.

The fire broke out in the northern marine district, south of the port base of Portsmouth. The ship-to-shore container vessel has a five-meter draft compared to the oil tanker, and it initially created an impression that both ships have no damage.
