Gothenburg: March 12, 2025 Stena Bulk continues to work closely with Crowley and the relevant local authorities, including the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), following the incident involving the Stena Immaculate in the North Sea.
We are pleased to confirm that all crew members of the Stena Immaculate are safe and receiving full support. Their welfare remains a priority throughout this incident.
The fire onboard the Stena Immaculate has greatly diminished with no visible flames. The vessel remains stationary at anchor and is being monitored by representatives from Crowley, Stena Bulk, and government authorities.
Initial assessments indicate that environmental impacts have been limited due to exposure to the fire and evaporation of the Jet A-1 fuel. UK agencies are closely monitoring air quality and any possible public health impacts onshore, with readings currently within safe parameters.
Stena Bulk is supporting Crowley as they assist response efforts led by the MCA as well as during initial salvage activities. Once it is confirmed that the fire has been fully extinguished, third-party salvagers will be able to board the vessel to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the damage.
We will continue to work with our partners and UK authorities to ensure the Stena Immaculate remains secured.
Stena Bulk wishes to express sincere gratitude to all governmental and private entities who have supported this challenging operation. We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the missing seafarer from the vessel SOLONG.
There will be a full inquiry into the cause of this incident, to which Stena Bulk and the crew of the Stena Immaculate will provide their complete support.
We will continue to provide updates as the situation develops.
