The U.S-flagged tanker, M/T Stena Immaculate which was struck earlier today off the coast of the U.K. by a Portuguese-flagged cargo vessel, resulting in several explosions and fires causing the loss of the ship, was one of only ten tankers that are part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Tanker Security Program (TSP), designed to assist Military Sealift Command (MSC) with the transportation of fuel to U.S. military forces overseas in a time of crisis. The ship was reportedly loaded with jet fuel at the time of the collision.
