What we know about the oil tanker and cargo vessel collision

BBC Verify explores how a ship carrying a highly-toxic chemical hit a tanker in the North Sea that was transporting jet fuel for the US military.

The incident occurred before 10:00 GMT on Monday, with the Stena Immaculate tanker apparently hit while at anchor by the container Solong, tracking data analysed by BBC Verify suggests.

Thirty-six people have been brought ashore and no-one has needed to go to hospital. But one of the 14 crew members on the Solong cargo ship is missing, the vessel’s owner Ernst Russ has said.
