“Following the collision of the two ships in the North Sea yesterday, I know residents will be deeply concerned for those involved and the potential impacts of this on our coastline and communities. 

 

“Humber Local Resilience Forum are leading the response to this incident. Colleagues from partner agencies across Lincolnshire are attending these meetings together with ELDC officers and offering mutual aid where appropriate. 

 

“We know that our residents, especially those along the coast, will be worried about the potential impact of the collision as both ships were carrying dangerous cargos. Pollution could impact public health, the marine habitat, our beaches and local wildlife. 

 

“The Humber LRF and the government agencies involved are aware of these concerns and we will, of course, share any updates from those agencies involved as more information becomes available and as the response and recovery progresses.

 

“Finally, I am sure you will join me in extending our sincere thanks to all those who have responded to this incident. This is an ongoing complex and dangerous situation and we must acknowledge the bravery of those who head towards the danger at times like these. Those individuals reflect the best of our local communities.”
