A crashed oil tanker carrying over 400 tonnes of oil is in danger of fully sinking off the coast of Gibraltar and spilling all its load sparking an environmental disaster.
The Bulk Carrier 0S 35 is now partly submerged with tugs having been brought to the scene by rescue teams in order to try and stabilise it.
It was leaving port in Gibraltar when it crashed into another ship, the ADAM LNG, which was also moving away towards open sea on Monday night.
