Thirty-seven people have been brought ashore after a cargo vessel collided with an oil tanker.
Jet fuel is spilling into the North Sea following the collision off the East Yorkshire coast, the owner of the tanker says.
One person is in hospital while 36 others across both crews are safe and accounted for, says local MP Graham Stuart.
Video shows thick smoke billowing out from the tanker, with reports of a “massive fireball” being seen.
The US-flagged Stena Immaculate appears to have been hit while at anchor by the Portuguese-flagged container Solong, according to tracking data analysed by BBC Verify.
The ship is one of just 10 vessels the US military uses to carry its fuel during conflicts or emergencies.
