A tanker carrying jet fuel has with a container ship, causing fuel to spill into the North Sea. The Cypriot vessel Jork Ranger a 20ft hole in the hull of the Greek tanker Mindoro around 20 miles off the Dutch coast at Scheveningen. Some highly kerosene leaked from a hole above the water line before the crew managed to pump the fuel into an undamaged part of the ship.
Peter van Oorschot, a spokesman for the Dutch Coast Guard, that no one was hurt in the collision. Mr Oorschot said the jet fuel quickly and no public health risk, and it is not to reach the Dutch coast. He could not say how much jet fuel the 25-man tanker was carrying but added that the situation was under control. Offshore winds are blowing the slick away from the coast. The container ship has a crew of 12 and has asked to sail on to Rotterdam, its original destination after leaving St Petersburg.
