A tanker carrying around one million barrels of bitumen mix has collided with another vessel in the Chinese port city of QingDao.

Poor visibility was a key factor in the collision, which created an oil spill into the Yellow Sea.

The local maritime safety administration instructed other ships to stay at least ten nautical miles away from the impacted area…

Authorities were unable to share any details about how much oil had leaked.
