One crew member is still missing and presumed dead. The Russian captain of the vessel who caused the crash has been charged with manslaughter.
Our poor wildlife. Once again yet another disaster and many innocent animals will lose their lives and habitat.


''The Stena Immaculate had been carrying 220,000 barrels of jet fuel in 16 segregated cargo tanks - at least one of which "was ruptured" during the collision, shipping company Crowley said.
But it added that the jet fuel spill was having a "limited" impact.

The potential environmental impact seems to be less severe than initially feared.''
