Naval aviators provide administrative assistance off the British coast

In connection with the collision of a freighter and a tanker off the British coast on 10 March, the naval aviators of Naval Air Wing 3 "Graf Zeppelin" provided valuable administrative assistance with a Dornier DO 228 LM.

The operation was carried out on behalf of the Central Command for Maritime Emergencies, which offered rapid assistance to the UK Coastguard immediately after the collision became known on the morning of 10 March. The container ship SOLONG and the tanker STENA IMMACULATE collided off the British North Sea coast. Both ships caught fire and there was a risk that leaking oil and any containers falling into the water could lead to further hazards and
