A cargo ship and an oil tanker have collided in the North Sea, sparking a major rescue operation.
The Stena Immaculate, a US-flagged oil tanker carrying aviation fuel, was anchored when it was struck by the Portuguese-flagged Solong.
The cargo ship was reportedly travelling at 16 knots when it hit the tanker’s port side, causing a fire on both vessels.
According to local MP Graham Stuart, 36 people from both crews are "safe and accounted for".
At least one person is in hospital.
Investigations are underway to determine what led to the crash.
