Fires were now out on the container ship Solong, which was in collision with the tanker Stena Immaculate in the North Sea ...

Plastic nurdles may have spilt from damaged containers on a stricken ship involved in last week’s North Sea collision and started to wash up on English beaches, the owner Ernst Russ said on Tuesday.

The co-owners of an oil tanker involved in a collision with a cargo ship in the North Sea have released the first picture of some of the crew and praised their "exceptional bravery".

Plastic nurdles have been washed up on beaches in Norfolk following the collision last week between the Solong and the Stena Immaculate.
