Jet fuel spills into North Sea, 32 people brought ashore

A total of 32 people have been brought ashore after a cargo vessel collided with an oil tanker in the North Sea. 

All crew on the tanker Stena Immaculate are safe and accounted for, said the shipping company, BBC reported.

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 Stena Immaculate is one of just 10 vessels the US military uses to carry its fuel during conflicts or emergencies; there's no indication of how it was being used at the time of the crash.
