Stena Bulk has sold its fire-damaged tanker Stena Immaculate to an undisclosed buyer who intends to carry out major repairs at Desan Shipyard in Tuzla, Turkey.<\/p>\n

The vessel was severely damaged in a fatal collision in the North Sea earlier this year. The 2017-built, 49,700-dwt MR tanker suffered severe structural and cargo tank damage after being struck by the Portuguese-flagged containership Solong in the North Sea on 10 March 2025.<\/p>\n

The collision occurred while the tanker was anchored off the Humber Estuary, resulting in a fire that burned for days and led to the loss of over 17,500 barrels of jet fuel. At the time, the vessel was carrying aviation fuel for the US military.<\/p>\n

Stena Bulk clarified that the tanker had not been sold for recycling, as previously speculated, but to a buyer who plans to fully repair the ship at Desan Shipyard. Before the handover, the vessel was reflagged from the United States to Malta.<\/p>\n
