Britain’s coastguard is responding to reports of a collision between a tanker and cargo vessel off England’s northeastern coast, the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency said on Monday.
“A Coastguard Rescue Helicopter from Humberside was called, alongside lifeboats from Skegness, Bridlington, Maplethorpe and Cleethorpes, an HM Coastguard fixed wing aircraft, and nearby vessels with fire-fighting capability. The incident remains ongoing,” the agency said in a statement.
The alarm for the incident was raised at 9:48 a.m. local time (5.48 a.m. ET).
This is a developing story and will be updated.
