We are deeply saddened by yesterday's incident involving our vessel Stena Immaculate off Hull, which was involved in an allision with the container ship SOLONG. Last night, our President & CEO Erik Hånell met with the crew in person. While they are all safe and accounted for, naturally they are still processing the events. In moments like these, it's about being there, listening, and ensuring that our people feel supported. We extend our sincere gratitude to the emergency responders and search and rescue teams who acted swiftly and professionally. Their dedication and expertise have been invaluable throughout this challenging situation. Since last night, we have been on location in Grimsby, closely following developments and standing by our team. Our focus remains on their well-being and providing the support they need. To all who have reached out with concern - thank you. It means a great deal. The full statement regarding the incident is attached.
