North Sea crash may have ‘devastating’ impact on marine life, says expert | North of England
An expert warned, an expert warned, when investigations began in the accident case.
The fires continued to burn both ships Yorkshire Monday morning. The search for a member of a missing crew has been stopped overnight.
As investigations into the cause of the collision, a White House official refused to exclude the wrong play amid questions about the reason for the appearance of the Solong charging ship, did not slow down or change the path before hitting the STENA DUSTYULATE, which was carrying a shipment of the American army.
Environmental experts have warned that jet fuel leakage from STENA with a length of 183 meters was toxic to humans and wildlife.
Dr. Simon Boxal, an academic in ocean science at the University of Southampton, said that the Jet A-1 fuel had a “much higher toxicity” of crude oil and that “the impact of this on life in the oceans would be destroyed.”
Melanie On, a deputy from Great Grimsby and Cleithorpes, said it was “24 hours shock” since collision and that people were concerned about the potential harm of the ecological system.
She said that the government did not confirm reports that Solong was carrying highly toxic chemical sodium cyanide when he plowed at STENA Nurmulaate.
Onn The Guardian told on Tuesday: “They do not know what a shipment is on that ship. I think that if sodium sodium will be very bad because of [if] It comes into contact with the water and becomes atmosphere as well, it is a very dangerous chemical. “
Boxall said it is not clear whether any sodium cyanide had leaked to the ocean, but it was not “good news” if that. “If they fell into the sea in the middle of the huge fire ball, they turn very quickly into hydrogen cyanide, which is in fact a dangerous gas.”
Dr. Sidgheed Fakili, a marine expert at the University of Southampton, said it was difficult to determine the main reason for the collision, but in most cases, “human factors play an important role.”
“This is especially important for container vessels as it can be work burdens and high fatigue among the main contributing factors. At this stage, it needs more comprehensive investigation.”
He told an American sailor on the Steena Stena CBS News that Solong “came out of the blue”, giving them on board “just seconds to interact.”
The crew member, who was not named, described how the fire was turning on the sailors during the evacuation of the burning bowl, leaving some lyric hair.
They said that the full accident of the effect to evacuation lasted about 30 minutes, adding that the operation was a “school book”.
The crew said that STENA Nurmulate may be used in that spot and transfer its coordinates on Sunday, which means that all other ships should have known their place.
Matthew Benikok, a government minister, said that the coast guard planes were watching the site of the accident off the East Yorkshire coast. He said: “We are working with Maritime and Coastguard to assess the effect of water pollution. It is clear that the fire is still raging.”
He added: “The Marine Agency and the Coast Guard are well equipped to contain any oil spills and separate them. We do not believe that the effects of air quality are outside the normal levels, but we will maintain the situation, clearly, under review.”
