Thousands of barrels of kerosene were lost in the fires following the collision between a container ship and an oil tanker in the North Sea, although environmental damage is considered limited.
The collision between the container ship Solong and the tanker Stena Immaculate on 10 March remains under investigation.
The incident occurred while the Stena Immaculate was anchored about 20 km off the Yorkshire coast in northeast England.
Massive fires broke out on both ships but were contained after several days of firefighting.
A crew member from Solong, identified as 38-year-old Filipino Mark Angelo Pernia, is presumed dead. The Russian captain has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter.
The Stena Immaculate, chartered by the US military, was carrying 220,000 barrels of aviation fuel, one of which was ruptured in the collision.
Environmental authorities stated there appears to be no pollution from either vessel.
US operator Crowley confirmed the loss of 17,515 barrels of Jet-A1 fuel due to the impact and fire, but the remaining cargo is secure.
Rescue teams assessed that damage was limited to one fuel tank and one water tank.
Crowley commended the crew’s heroic actions in taking fire precautions before abandoning the ship.
