Search for North Sea collision crew member called off | BBC News

The search for a missing crew member has been called off, after a cargo ship collided with a tanker full of jet fuel in the North Sea.

The collision involved the US-registered Stena Immaculate -which was transporting fuel on behalf of the US military - and the Portuguese-flagged Solong.

Coastguard Divisional Commander Matthew Atkinson said 36 people had been rescued, with one person taken to hospital. The missing crew member had been onboard the Solong, he said.
