Following the collision in the North Sea between the container ship Solong and the tanker Stena Immaculate, industrial plastic pellet pollution has been detected in the water near a bay approximately 70 kilometers south of the accident site, as well as along a 30-kilometer stretch of coastline that includes several nature reserves.
According to British authorities, the observed pellets are charred and emit a kerosene odor, reinforcing the hypothesis that the pollution is linked to the collision.
